The problem is that Lyme isn't the only tick borne disease. There are a bunch and some speculate there are more undetected ones. When someone has "chronic lyme" maybe they have some other prion that no one has diagnosed yet.

- mgamache 7y agoI don't think you mean 'prion' here as that's a different problem altogether, right?
- tomxor 7y agoyeah it's bacteria, antibiotics are for bacteria, not prions, if it was a prion there are no cures, they are really nasty.
- rb808 7y agoYes I meant other diseases like this one http://healthland.time.com/2013/07/19/theres-a-new-disease-spread-by-ticks-and-its-not-lyme/ http://healthland.time.com/2013/07/19/theres-a-new-disease-s.... I'm sure I saw a prion spread by ticks too, but maybe that is some weird theory. https://jmm.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/jmm/10.1099/jmm.0.47159-0 https://jmm.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/jmm/10....
