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.

I did a bit of cleanup with a note to see Chronic lyme disease for more detail. I think it should be two pages since Lyme disease is treatable yet CLD can set in. The first link will not open for me so I could not see what detail it had in order to post. The other link seemed like a searchable parliamentry database which is fine but I wasn't sure what to really search for or post. If anyone else wants to find an article in this database for this page please do. I know what I posted under Treatments is the CDC picked up by Oxford library but it may make sense to break up information like this by country.--DxCFS (talk) 09:15, 4 August 2016 (PDT)
