Hmmmm...I'm positive that my case was not reported. And I know what you mean about no Lyme in the South....so frustrating.....so, does the tick stop when it gets to the state line and say , oh no, that's a Southern state. I don't go that far. Or , if a bird is carrying it, does the tick jump off before the bird heads South? Come on.....this is so frustrating. Plus, I just went to a new doc. I'm in the process of finding a new internal medicine doc to cover the basics....I might as well get something for all that insurance we pay. Anyway, I told him about having Lyme and all those coinfections, too. Well, he said, 'I believe that you had Lyme, but there's no way that you had Babesia, unless you've been in the West Indies."......can you believe this? Well, I was nice, but I made it clear that he is wrong and has something to learn. He probably thinks I'm crazy,too....just like the others.....so frustrating. Oh well, we gotta keep on spreading the word and educating. And yes, BfourA, I read that in a book called Everything you need to Know About Lyme by Karen Vanderhoof. Please do not take anything I say as medical advice. I am not a doctor.
Open your mind to the possibilities available to you.
An attitude of gratitude is good 'medicine,' too.
