I'm new to lyme disease and was doing searches on google to learn more about the disease. I was taken back when I started finding all the information about the possible source for ticks with Lyme. Is everyone familiar with this story?
It seems really far fetched but the more I read and research, it seems like it is for real.

If you don't know about Plum Island, please do a google search for "lyme and plum island".

Here is a brief idea of what I found out:
Research was being done on Plume Island with ticks and biowarefare. This research was being done the same time as the first cases of Lyme were discovered in the CT town of Lyme. The town of lyme is the closet land to Plum Island. Appaerently this is a fact that ticks were being filled with various infectious diseasees and put outside on this island to try and get them to spread these diseases to livestock. I guess some of the migrating birds that land on this island carried these ticks to the town of Lyme. If you look at a map of all the plotted cases of lyme after you know where Plum Island is located you will be shocked. It is located in the exact center of all the reported and mapped cases in the U.S.

I never heard anything like this before and wanted to share with the group here. Check it out for yourselves. It made me sick to read after i realize what a horrible disease this is and the idea that our government might be responsible

This would make a great movie also...
