Jim Young was perfectly healthy and now a tick bite has changed his life

"Jim had constant flu-like symptoms and chronic fatigue...".

"...He received a devastating diagnosis of ALS".

"ALS, MS and Fibromyalgia are common misdiagnosis (for Lyme patients)".

Some important observations from The Georgia Lyme Disease Association: "Stop the spread of misinformation! North Carolina man now disabled by Lyme disease didn't seek early treatment partly due to myth that Lyme rashes appear as "bull's eyes." "What I said was oh thank goodness it's not a bull's eye. It can't be Lyme, and that was that," Kosal said. "Looking back on that, we think oh my goodness if only we knew any rash is bad news."

(GALDA note: While a bull's eye rash is the most recognizable, a solid, red, expanding lesion may be a more common form of erythema migrans. Please help spread the word! Early recognition and adequate treatment are essential!)
