A new tick-borne bacterium infecting humans with ehrlichiosis has been discovered in Wisconsin and Minnesota.

It was identified as a new strain of bacteria through DNA testing conducted at Mayo Clinic.

The findings appear in the Aug. 4 edition of the New England Journal of Medicine.

I spent two weeks at the Mayo Clinic, leaving without a diagnosis...then continued to deteriorate and suffer more for 7 more months before being diagnosed with Lyme and Bartonella. As I read from others, Mayo has not been a friend to those of us with Lyme.

I saw a joke in a novel recently, told by a physician:

There are 3 things that are highly overrated; home cooking, home fu*$ing, and the Mayo Clinic.
