I just watched the Lyme Disease movie on PBS called "Under Our Skin" - that details chronic Lyme Disease and the treatment with anti-biotics; as well as the HMO fight against diagnosing Lyme disease.
Its scary stuff, especially since its so prevalent in the Northeast and spreading across the country. If untreated, it can kill you by debilitating your nervous system and brain function. Its symptoms are similar to ALS and MS; and the scary is that many doctors don't recognize the symptoms and send you to a shrink, and the HMO's won't pay for long-term antibiotics.
Side note - I am never going outdoors or into the woods again.
