chronic lyme isnt a real disease, its been coined as such because communities/forums believe in pseudoscience part of it that is incurable and theres a whole industry built around it. an acute infection left untreated can lead to long term neurological disease though.

    Your logic is a bit faulty. Lyme disease is really hard to catch, that's why it turns into the "left untreated" part. What we name it makes no difference. It comes from people getting lyme and then being chronically ill afterwards. I wish you guys would troll people who aren't sick.

    i mentioning the people who are mentioning chronic lyme as an actual disease, not the sequelae of the lyme infection. they believe its an uncurable disease, that causes symptoms all the time. its all pseudoscience. the actual lyme infection is not.
