We'll never know what delivered the disease to my daughter. No tick bites that we know of.

So, I don't know if we should narrow it to ticks. That would eliminate many other vectors.

BEEN TICK-BIT?

What % of ppl w/Lyme don't recall bite?
What % of infective bites don't result in "bulls-eye"?

If you can't answer these two questions, you may need ILADS.

ILADS BITES BACK!!
(IDSA JUST BENDS YOU OVER)

ILADS - takes the bite out of Lyme and offers hope to those infected with tick-borne diseases.

IDSA does not.

[lol]

Sorry 'bout that, couldn't resist.

TICK-BIT?
BITE BACK with ILADS!
Don't roll over for IDSA!

Thanks for encouraging our efforts, True and Siz.

I am wondering if the "Got Lyme Guidelines? www.ilads.org " doesn't still leave the public at risk of confusing the good guidelines with the bad ones sometime down the line. People will likely remember "guidelines" but may be confused should the other guys' guidelines appear in their sight line.
