Poor souls didn't even know that they were infected.

Thanks for posting this! I briefly heard about it and wished it got more media coverage.

I didn't have a link to send to a friend regarding the article, but now I do. Thanks bigstan!

Yeah, so sad. Still, thanks for posting.

It's alarming, though, that one doctor who noted one patient had the beginning of heart disease did NOT connect that to having lyme. They just can't seem to understand that lyme can cause so many of the chronic disease states and a heart attack may not be the only sign or event.
