This segment has some good information and some typical misinformation. They do say Lyme can be debilitating and go into a chronic disease state.

The last words were....take a shower and shower them off???????????????
Oh so very simple. Notice we are still seeing very few states. Kentucky borders that state of Virginia, but don't worry the ticks haven't crossed into the Ky border yet.
I don't watch this show, but I'm sure Yolanda herself was not happy with that horrible ending with question and answers from that "doctor".
How could anyone in the Midwest, Southern states, West Coast and everywhere in between be happy with what was stated in that interview with that panel and medical expert.
Yolanda did a great job.

I know.. shower them off!? Erg. 70% of those bitten will have a rash. They only showed two areas of the country with Lyme. (hey, how about showing all 50 states?)
Anyway, people are beginning to listen. I do hope and pray she finds a real doctor soon. I'm not convinced that she has one.

LT, I've read that less than 50% have a rash. In fact, I think somewhere it stated that less than 30% have a rash.

Someone watching in CA (or Nashville or Atlanta) might think, "Phew! I'm glad I don't live in the Northeast... & if I visit there, I'll just have to check my armpits & groin before I retire for the day." {sigh}
Just 20 to 30% don't get the classic bullseye rash? What survey produced *that* range?

My bullseye was found on the top of my head by my LLMD 30yrs after being bitten. He took a picture of it and sent it to the CDC. Who really thinks to look there? Great that Yolanda is trying to get the word out.
