Lyme doesn't discriminate by age, gender, ethnicity, or anything else.
Joseph Elone was just 17 years old when he passed away last month.
“The state lab performs a series of complex tests. ... They did show acute disseminated Lyme disease, but Powassan was excluded..."
“'Be it Lyme or be it Powassan — people need to know that it can kill a strong, physical guy,' said Benedict Elone, Joseph’s father."
RIP, Joseph.
