| Something interesting about this subject that others may not know: The thing about Lyme disease that most people & doctors don't know is that it can evade detection in BOTH blood & spinal fluid. Less than 50% of people recall a bite or get the rash. A mosquito, spider, flea, fly or any bloodsucking insect can carry the bacteria. It can be transmitted among people living in the same household. | | Something controversial or provocative about this subject There are 2 controversies surrounding Lyme disease. #1 is diagnosis. The tests are so unreliable, diagnosis is made by a history of symptoms & exclusion of other diseases which is a clinical diagnosis. #2 is its treatment with long-term antibiotics. If Lyme is not caught in its initial stages and is left untreated, antibiotics are necessary on a long-term basis. |
