How's *THAT* for stupid?
Lyme started in Corrupticut, Corrupticut corrupted
it, and now people in northern nations who could have
avoided the catastrophies altogether by getting rid of the
deer, now have to have their own national rallies
because we American Lyme activists were so
unsuccessful... because the saboteur queens:

*had* to be queens.
Wow.
We really double *triple* suck.

Lyme disease patients rally for better diagnostic tests

Canadian Lyme disease patients are calling for better doctor training
and more accurate tests so sufferers can be diagnosed and treated
quickly before their side effects become crippling and chronic.
At rallies across Canada this week, patients called for greater
awareness of the disease within the medical community, and asked
provincial governments to train doctors to recognize the disease.
"We have people on crutches, we have people that couldn't come today
because they are bedridden," Lyme disease patient Gwen Barlee told CTV
News at a rally in Vancouver. "Most people I know who have Lyme
disease don't have jobs anymore."
More than 20,000 cases of Lyme disease are diagnosed across North
America every year.
The disease is contracted through the bite of an infected tick.
Bacteria from the bite enter the bloodstream and can infect joints,
the heart and even the brain.
Some experts believe that thousands more suffer for years without an
accurate diagnosis. They say blood tests used in Canada are not as
sophisticated as those used in the United States, and that few doctors
are trained to recognize the symptoms.
Lyme disease can be cured early with antibiotics. However, it can lead
to a lifetime of pain, disability and neurological problems if left
untreated.
"Our treatment is very expensive, very prolonged and our prognosis is
now uncertain," said patient Rob Manten at a rally in Ontario. "I want
to see things changed and I call on our government to assist us in
making that happen."
Their message echoed that of experts published in the Canadian Medical
Association Journal earlier this year.
In their report, researchers said Lyme disease, which was largely
unheard of in the 1980s, is now found across the country.
The tick that carries the Lyme-causing bacteria Ixodes scapularis is
found in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, southern Quebec, southern Ontario
and southeastern Manitoba.
The tick that spreads the bacterium in the West, Ixodes pacificus, is
now widespread in southern British Columbia.
The researchers called for better surveillance measures for ticks as
they spread throughout Canada. They also called on public health
officials to better inform the public and doctors about local risk
levels, prevention and the need for early diagnosis.
"Current passive surveillance for tick vectors has identified new
endemic areas, but additional methods are needed to precisely identify
where Lyme disease is emerging in Canada," they wrote.
