In reply to Number of cases of Lyme Disease in the USA?, posted by SLS on April 28, 2018, at 22:07:48
Hi SLS,
I'm no expert, but I would assume too, that there is significant discrepancy in the true incidence.
I know that many Canadians travel to the US in order to get a 'positive' Lymes diagnosis. Apparently, some people believe that our testing methods are too narrow and restrictive.
There are likely facilities which will tell 100% of their customers that they have Lymes.
While Lymes disease totally exists, I see it (to some extent) as being similar to 'gluten issues'. The number of (non-Ciliac) people who are apparently (all of a sudden) intolerant of gluten, here in Canada, is crazy.Linkadge
