Dedicated to raising awareness of ALL tick borne diseases, offering support, and providing referrals for information, research, and healthcare choices.
I don’t understand why the government officials do not recognize that Lyme Disease is devastating. There is a course of treatments to help but the doctors especially in Canada are reprimanded if they do so. Why can’t the US and Canada governments recognize it is a serious problem.
It’s a real shame that this is even considered news! Of course it’s here!! What makes officials and others believe that those ticks observe those state lines???? It’s obvious (to most of us anyway! LOL!) that birds don’t say, “OH! There’s Arkansas, let’s take a left here so we don’t have to fly over it.”!!!!
Seems like a no-brainer, doesn’t it?
Pretty much disgusting! I see that other tick-borne infections are listed – both RMSF and Ehrlichiosis. Really makes one wonder when they say yes, there are tick-borne diseases here, but not THAT one!

I know, Janet. It’s just been swept under the rug for so long that nobody recognizes it for what it really is: SERIOUS! Thanks for your comment.

Hey ART! Yep, you hit the nail on the head. There’s other tick borne diseases, (see here) http://www.healthy.arkansas.gov/programsServices/epidemiology/Documents/10YR2010.pdf
But look at the numbers they reported on Lyme: -0-!!!
