I added this article to another post, but felt it needed it's own. In the subtitle it states (regarding Babesiosis): "Doctors report sharp rise in the potentially DEADLY, non-lyme infections".

Easy to read. Maybe some progress is being made.

It's the article from the March issue of Self Magazine, called The Rising Dangers of Ticks.

Self Mag has done a number of Lyme articles. I think one of their editors has had Lyme... or maybe a family member.

Glad they are getting the word out - even though it is from Dr. W.

I think the Worm has his radar set a little too low to the ground...

Stay away from the Westchester Medical Center home of Gary Wormsner.....lyme is easy to cure and chronic lyme does not exist.

Good find!

Maybe someday the IDSA will figure out what our LLMD's have known for years. Babesia is not just now on the rise, it has been part of the Chronic Lyme conundrum for many years. We can't get control of lyme because babesia and other co-infections are suppressing our immune system.
