> It might also be instructive for you to be aware of what strikes me as the Americo-centric assumptions of your post. "Lyme disease" is not a pathology which, for instance, is a major - or even minor - medical burden in Australia, if it exists here at all.
Do you live in Melbourne? My doctor from the USA will be speaking there next week regarding the contribution of neuroinflammatory processes to psychiatric syndromes. He's real big on Lyme Disease and other tic-borne illnesses, so he might address that issue, too. What's nice is that he doesn't neglect diagnosing and treating the gamut of psychiatric illnesses. Using Google as a search engine, I found that some medical professionals believe that Lyme Disease does indeed exist in Australia. However, I don't know what statistics are available. Maybe it is an imported pathogen? There is still some debate as to the existence of Lyme in Australia. Until receently, I think Australia and Antarctica were considered the two continents free of Lyme Disease. I don't know.
