My IgG 2 (The part of the immune system that fights many bacterial infections) was so below normal I couldn't go out in public for months without a face mask. Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2019. The Soviets did the same thing. A riveting thriller reminiscent of The Hot Zone, this true story dives into the mystery surrounding one of the most controversial and misdiagnosed conditions of our time—Lyme disease—and of Willy Burgdorfer, the man who discovered the microbe behind it, revealing his secret role in developing bug-borne biological weapons, and raising terrifying questions about the genesis of the epidemic of tick-borne diseases affecting millions of Americans today.While on vacation on Martha’s Vineyard, Kris Newby was bitten by an unseen tick.

To see what your friends thought of this book, Amongst the Lyme community, of which I am, very reluctantly, a member, there's always a certain amount of talk about bioweapons.

She details that around the same time Burgdorfer had discovered the Lyme spirochete, he had also found another microbe dubbed the Swiss Agent. Newby investigates whether this microbe is making people sick today. For a long time there has been speculation that Lyme Disease isn't exactly what the general population believes it to be. It’s free and takes less than 10 seconds! HOLOCAUST Timothy Patrick McCarthy. “Bitten” Book Review The debate over the prevalence of Lyme disease and whether it exists in a chronic form has raged for decades. At least twice in the book she quotes people as warning her "not to die for this (exposing Lyme disease as a possible military accident)". The debate over the prevalence of Lyme disease and whether it exists in a chronic form has raged for decades. When she read through Burgdorfer’s personal papers, Newby learned that he initially thought the Swiss Agent (Rickettsia helvetica) could have been the culprit of Lyme—it was found in blood samples of people diagnosed with the illness. This book deserves the Nobel Prize and if it wins it, you heard it here first. It was a pretty easy and fast read for me. I believe that researchers were sloppy at times, and I believe that infected tick samples were accidentally released into the US population. Having been thru it all -- the Lyme wars with the IDSA, the Boards of Medical Practice with some of my colleagues, the false sense of "curing" someone, etc -- I was never satisfied with what did and did not make sense. You don’t need a scientific mind to read this book. Those with late stage infections suffer horrifically and many take their own lives as a result. The last tick bite I remember was at least 5 years ago (tick bite 3). Ray Suarez, by
The first book I read on the subject of Lyme was, 'Cure Unknown: Inside The Lyme Epidemic.'
