I just watched the CBS early show and they had a short segment on lyme. It was terrible with all the wrong information. Anyone see it?

Hah! See, this is what happens when you learn more about Lyme!

You end up trying to explain to people so that they'll understand, and most of them just roll their eyes.

We are in PA (from FL) to see my husband's LLMD. When we saw that this was going to be on The Early Show, we got excited, as we were hoping that in an area where Lyme is so prevalent, we would get good information. Not so; was disappointing and totally inaccurate.

Saw a segment a few weeks ago on the CBS Saturday Early Show that was loaded with misinformation.
