This statement takes the cake in the NEJM article:

Oh my. What's Detroit got that the rest of the country doesn't know about? How many of you in Detroit feeling g-o-o-o-d after drinking your eight-glasses-a-day water cure?
Welcome to Detroit mishigas. (That's Yiddish for crazy)

OK, yah right. My twin and I are both on the Detroit water system and we've had Lyme for apx. 30 years we figure.
Not that we drink tap water now but we did up until a couple years ago.
That's kind of a wierd thing to print, isn't it?
