The Skinny on Lyme Disease

Josh and Chuck dive deep into Lyme disease, exploring its history from ancient mummies to its alarming spread across North America today, while tackling the ongoing medical debate about whether standard antibiotic treatments truly cure the infection or leave patients suffering from chronic symptoms. They cover everything from how ticks transmit the bacteria to the frustration patients face when doctors dismiss their persistent symptoms, plus some wild recent Congressional claims about government bio-weapon research. It's a comprehensive look at one of America's fastest-growing vector-borne diseases and why so many people feel their doctors aren't taking them seriously.
