And a new way of detecting Lyme disease has been found.
"Early detection is difficult.
However, the good news is that we have recently discovered two new biomarkers for tick-borne infection that could facilitate faster diagnosis.
In research supported by the Lyme Disease Association (LDA), my colleagues and I have demonstrated that the presence of a hazy, white ring of peri-papillary ischemia around the optic nerve —
especially in children or adults younger than 60 years who would not be expected to have ischemic changes —
is associated with tick-borne infection."

Thx for the info. I drink an ounce of Mango-xan juice everyday and that stops all Lyme eye symptoms for me. Mango-xan is one of the brands of mangosteen juice, which has 43 xanthone compounds in it that clear up inflammation.
