There is a link to send comments, i.e. a huge thank you, for having Dr. Fallon speak, and for their links to lymeinfo.net.
One of the links, you have to sign up for, but there is another, for comments (where you choose the category, i.e. Early Show, etc.)

That man is a hero in this house. He got my little nut the extra care he needed and the school system off my back. I'll always be eternally grateful to him.

Excellent.
But, I noticed that one of the "early facts" they displayed while Dr F was speaking was that 1% of ticks carry Lyme disease? That is even lower than what Shapiro said during a talk I heard last year, he said up to 40% of ticks in the north-east. 1% seems WAY too low.

He also said that only deer ticks carry Lyme.
Another reference to it being pretty much across the country now, unlike in the "beginning." I was infected in OK before the "beginning." So much for that one!

I wonder if the 1% is for all deer ticks in the US versus just in the Northeast?

lymednva...how interesting you would say OK. That's where we believe we were infected.
But, oh, I still love Oklahoma. (coming from a native AZ)

Hi lymies, is a print of the dialogue available for this video? I couldn't find one...and my computer is too slow to download the video clip.
If you find "text only", would someone please post it here?
Thanks for your time.

Nice job Dr. Fallon. The 1% statistic was misleading and wrong that flashed on the screen. We can only wish it were true.
