People are dying from this disease called lyme
And the only reason is because they dont find it in time

Most people with lyme never develop a bulls-eye rash
I know that's all you hear about, but that's alot of trash

If your lucky enough to have a rash, or find a tick imbedded in your skin
Going to a lyme literate doctor is your only chance to win

If you go to your regular doctor and say, "I think I have lyme"
He will not treat you properly and you will be wasting precious time

The best thing to do to avoid years of pain
Is to treat it early to stay ahead of the game

The accuracy of the standard blood test is so bad
You could die from this diease and never test positive, now isn't that sad

There are doctors that specialize in this disease
Lyme is very serious so investigate it please

I know they say lyme is no big deal
But how long was it before they let you know AIDS was real?

Do you know the damage SYPHILIS can do?
If I put the actual bacterias side by side you probably couldn't decipher the two

This disease can get your mother, father, sister, wife, husband, children, brother, & even you
The reason I'm writing this poem, is so you will know what to do

If you don't believe me, go to www.ilads.org on the web
There are so many fighting for their health and it's not in their head

this is for those people that get tick-bit and think its no big deal, and there are sooo many, even my father in-law went to a duck to get a tick removed & got a recurring rash, & the duck is sending him to a dermatoligist because he can't figure out why a fungal ointment isn't taking care of the "ringworm" rash!

The duck never even gave my father in-law abx, plus he knows my story, and lives in Minnesota on a lake, in the woods!

The problem is the trust that people put in their doctors; i did too, and look where it got me - here on this board everyday!
