women with schizophrenia actually tend to develop symptoms in their 20s, much later than men; lymes disease is real but also often a fixation for the mentally ill and hypochondriacs since the symptoms are so vague and varied, so it is likely that the bite is irrelevant and she fixated on it as her symptoms were developing for genetic (or whatever) reasons
- dustingetz 3y agothanks – I didn't know that. She is 39 and was bit in her late 20s, showed early schizophrenia (wrongfully diagnosed as psychosis) in early 30s. So could be.
