Lyme is an avocational hazard for long distance hiking, particularly with unfinished trails that one uses map and compass to go cross-country. I learned about it early on and thus new what was happening when I first contracted it in 1984, from a tick in East Lyme! Since I was attending grad school in Ithaca at the time the doctor I went to see knew little about it, doubted I had it, but listened to me and treated it accordingly. I completely recovered.

I contracted it two more times, knew I had it within 2-7 days, treated it immediately and recovered fully. Beside equipped with knowledge my immune system functions very well. The problem with both testing and researching for Lyme is that afflictions vary greatly in accordance with the immune response. You may no show for the antibodies but still have the disease. I do not know what the best course of action is for the medical community, but for individuals keeping your immune system as healthy as possible is the best course of action ... for virtually anything.
