Finally CNN does an article regarding Lyme Disease. Let’s hope this will open their eyes and bring about more news stories.
From the article “Untreated Lyme Disease: 2 Year of Hell”
“About 300,000 Americans each year are infected withLyme disease, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That number, the CDC reported last week, is about 10 times higher than they had previously estimated.”
“But what if you never get the rash? What if you blow off your symptoms as a bad case of the flu?”
“The CDC goes on to say that no studies have proven antibiotic treatment past three to four weeks leads to any improvement in the patient. Some doctors disagree. Since there is still so much we don’t know about the disease, the controversy ensues.”
