That link doesn't seem to work and I've been unable to find the actual video although I've read the transcript.

Can someone post a direct link to the video please?

Thanks for posting the link.

The video had not been removed as of today.

Nice that they had a little non-IDSA info early on in the segment but the doctor who gives advice at the end of the segment is IDSA all the way.

According to her, one dose of abx is all you need if you catch it early on. No one mentions that if you get abx early on, you will likely never test positive for lyme. Doesn't mean you don't have it.

Also, the 20,000 number of new cases a year is wrong, even according to the CDC it is much higher than that.
