This misses that many many people get Lyme disease without knowing it (asymptomatic), particularly children, and if treatment it not given early in infection, permanent neurological damage occurs.

This is common in north eastern state rural areas and has been getting steadily worse.

We are constantly doing tick checks on the kids after one of our friends related that she suffered lifelong issues after being bitten by a tick 40 years ago in our neighborhood.

A vaccine would be a huge relief.

And in turn this misses that chronic lyme has become a catch-all self diagnosis people have for chronic medical problems with no clear cause. There is not really much evidence to believe it is a real thing.

To clarify, you're saying we don't know whether Lyme disease is real?

Lyme disease is different from chronic lyme disease. The latter has little evidence.
