Veronica Zimmer in Norway began this petition about 30 days ago: there are already more than 1,000 signatures.

This will go world wide I hope. The Europeans had a rally in Strasbourg in September, the Australians also.

We have to do something, the disease is being downplayed in every country. If we were to believe the main stream media and the health departments in the UK, Lyme would hardly exist, but old maps show that by 1989 we had cases all over Britain.

Thanks for this information.

As for WHY lyme is being downplayed around the world? The same reason as here - the IDSA. The IDSA (for some reason) seems to have a voice across the globe and it's just so very destructive when it comes to their ignorance about lyme.

Many other countries are just following the IDSA like blind sheep in this matter.

For those who don't want their name to link to this signature from a simple Google search forever, you can uncheck the box at the very bottom right to remain private.

You have to physically uncheck it yourself, though. It's already checked to show publicly.

I didn't see a box to uncheck? Does it come up after you sign it? Thanks.

On the right side, just under the red "sign" word, is a small box with the words about displaying name in public. It is already checked, so just uncheck it.

Thanks poppy. For some reason it's not showing for me.

The UK is the worst country in Europe for recording Lyme cases.

Germany are good. Info came via the insurance company who have to pay for the ELISAs, and they reported over 260,000 new cases of Lyme in 2010.

That's out of a population of about 80 million.

One scientist reckons about 700,000 would be more reasonable as the number, because at least half are being missed anyway.

I think it's possible soon that some kind of action is going to unite people across the world.

Paul has posted a facebook link, but perhaps the link in this thread is better for those not on facebook. I'm not sure how these things work.
