NY Times Article on LD

[Guest guest]

Hi Marta!

Thanks for posting this article. I think it's one of the best I've

read about LD in ANY news article to date. It doesn't underplay

the seriousness of Lyme - especially untreated LD; and I was

especially pleased that someone has FINALLY stated that not

everyone gets that d*mn bullseye rash!

I see another " Steereism " was quoted! Now we're over-protecting

ourselves! Yeah, right, like there could ever be too much protection

against LD. I'm beginning to enjoy the idiocy that emerges every

time he opens his mouth because each statement will one day be one

more knot in the noose that hangs this idiot.

I also found it interesting that insurance companies are refusing

to pay for folks to get the vaccine! It's certainly not because

they're afraid of its side effects, but again, it's money vs.

health. Maybe this time they're doing folks a favor???

Oh, and one more thing I wanted to mention. Don't think that

you're safe if you yourself don't go outside - the ticks can be

brought in, not only by pets, but anyone. To this day, I believe

that the second tick I removed was brought in by my hubby. Guess

it liked me best!!! <g>

Thanks again for posting the article.

Hugs,

Patty
