Talk:Lyme disease

Needs cleanup - lots of factual errors. Need to describe multiple borrelia species, multiple co-infections, multiple infection routes (ticks, other vectors, sexual, congenital, milk/meat, blood transfusions, etc), prevalence (eg annually, 300,000 new cases in US, 100,000 in Europe), inaccuracy of testing methods, research showing that the initial 'two weeks of antibiotics' is often inadequate, that for 90% ppl the pathogens are undiagnosed and untreated, etc.

This might be a good place to start: http://www.bmj.com/bmj/section-pdf/910941/0 - page 8 (not page 5)

Also here : http://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Committees/Senate/Community_Affairs/Lyme-like_Illness/Submissions - submission #528, especially section C, Appendix 2, Appendix 4.

also - consider merging Lyme Disease and Chronic Lyme Disease into a single page, instead of duplicating information.
