    I suggest you read the research papers on Lyme and form your own decision too. The CDC is hardly comprehensive.

    Like the fact that the infection can actually remain dormant and undetectable in people for long periods of time.

    I’m also pretty sure the estimates on number of people who get Lyme per year vary wildly depending on who you want to believe.

    Actually here is the cdc saying 476k

    https://www.cdc.gov/lyme/stats/humancases.html#:~:text=Q%3A CDC also states that,is this number so different%3F

    Anyways. Lyme is a tricky one because not everyone has a reaction and it’s impossible to say how many people are carrying it dormant.
