May is Lyme Disease Awareness Month and like other awareness months, it’s all about educating the medical community and the community at large.
Lyme disease is one of, if not the fastest growing vector-bourne disease in the world. Misdiagnosed and undiagnosed victims of Lyme like myself have suffered due to lack of education on clinical symptoms without the tell-tale bulls-eye rash.
