This is a good story on the subject. (Also, obviously, the vast majority of patients don’t even *think* about threats.) https://slate.com/technology/2018/06/the-science-isnt-settled-on-chronic-lyme.html …
Definitely not good, full of cherry picked studies beloved of "Lyme literate" doctors.

I disagree but I’ve never changed your mind before and I’m not going to try now. My concern is that chronic Lyme’s fakeness dominates so much of the conversation that there’s little room to talk about acute Lyme or PTLDS. Or barriers to care re: same.

Obviously it’s bad that chronic Lyme fears enable a cottage industry of quacks. That’s not the entirety of the story re: Lyme, though, and it’s the only aspect a lot of folks want to talk about. I’ve met folks who think ALL Lyme is fake because of skeptic activism re: this.
