Truth-Out.org gets it right! Lyme Disease Community Blows the Whistle on Corruption Within the CDC!

Lyme Disease Community

Blows the Whistle on Corruption

An article from Truth-out.org.

Saturday, 16 November 2013 10:05By Jessica Bernstein, Truthout | Op-Ed

“The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently announced that rather than 30,000 new cases

The Lyme disease community has been battling for years to get the CDC to admit that Lyme disease is a mass public health crisis. Meanwhile, the CDC itself has been informally saying since 2004 that Lyme disease is probably 6 to 12 times more prevalent than the reported cases. Why then have they suddenly decided to formally acknowledge these higher rates?…”

Putting Tick-Borne Illness on the Map: An Interactive Map for Plotting Cases of Lyme

From Discover magazine.

Earlier this year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced that Lyme disease is 10 times more prevalent than previously reported, with some 300,000 sufferers across the U.S. As a result, more true Lyme cases should be recognized in the Northeast, Midwest and West. But much of the United States, including the Southeast, has been left out of the equation despite emerging evidence that Lyme or a Lyme-like infection may be present there as well.

Plot where you think you encountered an infected tick and in 100 words or less, tell us about your experience (or your pet’s experience) with tick-borne illness, including any diagnosis, symptoms and what kind of tick it was.
