I felt the same way as you. So I went to zazzle.com and there were several T-shirts to buy that would raise lyme awareness.

(and I made some myself since it was kinda fun)

I'd like to get some lyme awareness bracelets and some pamphlets as well.
It seems that now that I'm talking about lyme, everyone knows someone who's suffering!
