Interesting Report: Lyme Disease in the South (doctor, symptoms, problem)

[R_Cowgirl]

Apparently the CDC doesn't recognize Lyme Disease as a problem in the south. But researchers beg to differ. The problem is, if someone as all the symptoms of Lyme Disease in a southern state, the doctor may not take Lyme Disease into consideration or even ask if they've been in a tick-infested area.

too many of us put too much into what CDC has to say. Like anything else, much is just opinion...Yes, what they report is based on more research and more scientific evidence than just basic information, but still what they say, recommend, etc. should not be taken as the complete truth.
