In my opinion..

The only good thing good about this article is it can be printed out and used in the bottom of a bird cage...

OR....

You could use it to test 2nd graders about Lyme disease.

Just give them a crayon and have them circle all the false statements.

Make sure you provide them several boxes of crayons, they will need them!

I haven't seen anything this inaccurate for years!

And ducks at Ho Ho Hopkins are authors on the IDSA guidelines?

No wonder so many are chronically ill and suffering.

How many false statements can you find?

I don't think they like us.

I clicked on a link at the page above and it said...

That article was disgusting!

BTW, I didn't see a date on it. Was it written recently?

This is going to be fun. I called, asking about the Johns Hopkins Health Information Services, which "powered" our lovely Lyme info. They can't find them. Will keep y'all posted...

Getting closer - this is a big university...

Aha - got the right dept - now waiting with baited breath for the right contact folks...

And when I find them, which factoid do we start with?

Ah say...start from the beginning, with the true spread of the disease. I'll tell 'em it's now been found on their front lawn.

Wow! They blocked you Tincup...don't you feel special? Classic, but they aren't trying to keep anyone quiet or anything...right!

I just keep praying because honestly as much as a fighter as I am somedays I just wonder...My mom keeps telling me come on, "You're stronger then this, "Your a fighter" and you, " get **** done." LOL

We can do this guys...good will prevail. We really need to beat them to the punch or at least counter attack when it comes to things like this.
