Tracking Lyme Disease in Dogs May Help Protect Humans

After more than a decade of diagnosing Lyme in local dogs while my state CDC and local physicians deny the disease is present in our area, it's nice that this is finally being published for all to see. Now hopefully some of our chronically ill local humans can get the testing they have been denied for so long.

Thank you CDC for looking at this issue. For so long many of us have suffered with Lyme and being told no way could we have it. It is very prevalent around the US and doctor's need to start waking up and taking notice. And yes, we do have it in Florida. My 2 sisters and I have lived in Florida all our lives and are affilited with Chronic Lyme Disease.
