Scary, but relieving too - that the government is taking notice of babesia - maybe it will lead to the government recognizing that lyme is a chronic infection too.

That was interesting. It is good that they recognize it is serious and life threatening and hard to treat "in some people". No so good they are dismissing it as very rare.
