=====================================
Ann, I've seen it posted on this newsgroup many times: Lyme disease
mimics other diseases. As I stated before, viral diseases are complex
and affect people in DIFFERENT ways. Some believe Aids was caused from
monkeys who escaped from a lab. When the villagers ate the monkeys, the
people got Aids. According to the doctors, every tick is infected;
therefore, ALL bites cause Lyme Disease. This is why doctors put a
tick-bitten patient on anitbiotics as soon as possible.
