Well, I have to edit this post. See changes below.

Thanks bub! I was offline and someone sent this to me.. but I didn't see it till today.

I just sent this email out.

EDIT- I just found out a different reporter is doing the report. NOT the one I spoke with. Whew!

They also don't know what night it will be on.. but if I find out.. I will share.

I continually try to make contacts with the media. Sometimes it works out, other times not so good.

Sometimes reporters decide once the seed is planted that they can do it themselves without much help from patients.

When this happens they automatically hit CDC and government sites to get some of their information.

I was told the Fox report would air last night... but it had to be put on hold for some reason.

I am waiting for confirmation (if it comes)... but was just told it might be tonight or tomorrow.. so stay tuned.

Fox Channel 13 news, Tampa Bay, FL. ( 9:00 PM, I believe- see links below)

The report they wrote and posted isn't perfect by any means... but we'll see.

Let's just hope the broadcast is a good one and helps rather than stings us like a big fat bumble bee.

To see their written report on Lyme:

BTW- what sparked the interest was the video on Lyme that the teens did.. which I've sent to legislators in several states and the media.

Congratulations to the teens and thank you for sharing your excellent project!!! See the school project the teens did on the video below.

ONE more unrelated note!

Don't forget, the lunar eclipse is tonight too. (9 PM- 10 PM approx.)
