Lyme Disease / Neuroborreliosis in South Africa

The low reported incidence of Lyme disease in South Africa is likely due to Lack of Awareness and of any Research Effort. The SA Dept of Health / Infectious Diseases do not believe that a person can be infected with Lyme disease from a tick bite in South Africa. Nor do most doctors. Have you visited many doctors and still have no idea what is wrong with your health? May this blog help you in your search for better health.
