I know I had a map somewhere that showed the incidence of lyme disease around CT and New York but I cannot find it. It shows black along the Connecticut shoreline . LI and the other islands. A reporter has contacted me because they are looking at his town in Cal to maybe relocate Plum Island. He needs concrete info that shows it's fairly obvious that lyme has something to do with Plum Island. He wants to discourage a biowarfare lab in their area. Any help would be appreciated. If anyone knows where that map is I am speaking of, please let me know how I can get it. Thanks Marge Tietjen

You can't look at the black coastline and not wonder if plum island started the whole thing. It's pretty much dead center to the black area.
When I hear people say "Oh no, lyme disease was never studied at plum Island..you are so gullable", I feel like I live in a parallel universe or dysfunctional family.
I hate that.
It's the same feeling I get when my CT neurologists tell me "Oh, you may be holding a CDC postive lyme test and have all the symptoms of neuroborriliosis, but you don't have lyme--what you need is a psychiatrist."

No "Lyme Disease" probably wasn't, but "borrelia", babesia, bartonella, brucella, erlichia etc... probably were. Lyme is just a nickname for a disease observed in CT. It's probably just a little technicality like that being used as justification for that statement.

Those maps still show no Lyme in my county. My county's health department said they reported Lyme cases to the CDC, but I guess the CDC wasn't paying attention.
