And then the medical establishment is saying, like, what you're talking about doesn't even exist.

So there's a lot of frustration, like you're saying, a big disconnect.

And this is something that is –

probably going to keep playing out although it seems like it may be on its way out because of the epidemic proportions lime is taking now in the united states yeah i mean the statistics are mounting up such that it can't be ignored any longer not that it was ignored but you know that's probably a harsh statement but it's being taken way more seriously now

Yeah, so something like there's an expectation that there's going to be something like 300,000 to 400,000 new cases of Lyme disease in the United States alone.

And that 10% to 20% of those patients will end up with chronic Lyme disease.

Yeah.

I mean, I spent a fair amount of time hiking around the woods with my dogs and have pulled plenty of ticks off of them and plenty of ticks off of myself.

And I have fatigue a lot because I have a four-year-old and every now and then I'm like, do I have Lyme disease?

Well, probably not.

And here's why.

Well, I've never had the bullseye, first of all.

Okay, that's a big one, but also the ticks you pull off of your dog, those are dog ticks.

They do not transmit Lyme.

It's specifically the long-legged or black-legged tick, which is a type of deer tick.

Well, but here's the thing.

There are plenty of deer ticks in the woods.

Are you saying that they would not latch onto a dog and they'd be like, ooh, no?

I don't know.

I don't know.
