So shall this new malady be dubbed Lemon-Lyme disease?

The journal, Emerging Infectious Diseases, must be a fun read. I would be able to follow the articles only if they made them into Mr. DO and Mr. Don't cartoons. Maybe MR. Don't rolling in the tall weeds might work for the tick diseases.

But there is no diagnostic test for it in this country, so it is not yet known whether it has actually made any Americans sick.

So there is a diagnostic test somewhere, maybe Russia?

… won a grant from the National Institutes of Health to study the symptoms and develop a rapid diagnostic kit

We need to spend tax dollars making our own test. Seems wasteful.

No mention of how to tell if you've got it, and it's so little known doctors aren't even aware of it yet.

What's a hypochondriac to do?

One of the few good things about fire ants - where you have fire ants you don't have ticks.

Dr. Fish found B. miyamotoi in American ticks 10 years ago, but was repeatedly refused a study grant until the Russians proved it caused illness. “It’s been like pulling teeth,” he said. “Go ask the N.I.H. why.”

Because our government isn't really interested in us being healthy.
