As media outlets become more and more aware of Lyme disease, I hope that more long standing and well known media outlets, such as National Geographic, realize that there is a major health issue in the world and that their reporting on it and giving light to it can only help to raise much needed awareness. Without awareness we have no hope of driving more funds toward research into diagnostics and/or treatment.
Thank you NatGeo for highlighting this very controversial and under-researched disease.
In their recent article, NatGeo scratches the surface of the well of unknown details regarding Lyme disease, its transmission methods, symptoms, and the controversy surrounding it all. Although the article does not offer any new details or insights into Lyme disease that most of us don’t already know, it does successfully get more people talking about the disease and the abundant issues surrounding it.
I look forward to reading more of these such articles in the future as Lyme disease becomes a more widely recognized health issue of our era.
