Lyme campaign
May 7, 2013
AWARENESS raising events for Lyme disease will take place across Australia this Fri and Sat, with patients mobilising in Adelaide, Brisbane, Hobart, Melbourne, Perth, Sydney and regions. The protesters want to inform the public of the “real and present danger” of Lyme disease, urging education of the health sector on the accurate diagnosis and effective treatment of Lyme and other tickborne infections. It’s part of a global campaign involving almost 30 countries, with one of the key issues being the huge expense of antibiotic treatment for Lyme disease and its co-infections, which can cost about $1200 for a three week supply.
