Well, that was interesting. I think that it would be great if you’ll share more materials on the topic. In any case, thank you for posting.
How many strains of Lyme are there! I still cannot believe… We have to be very careful with our health, since such a disease is very dangerous, especially when early manifestations of this disease are similar with other diseases, and may include fever, headaches, fatigue and a characteristic skin rash.
I’d like to know how it’s treated, and, most importantly, how to prevent this awful disease? Any vaccination against it?
Well, I am not sure on the answer, but I would like to know it. I’ll check your blog later for it.
Wow! I cannot believe that there are so many strains of Lyme Disease all around the world! It is so upsetting that it is so hard to avoid it as acarus is so small.
