Aggressiveness, violence, homicidality, homicide, and Lyme disease
Conclusion: LD and the immune, biochemical, neurotransmitter, and the neural circuit reactions
to it can cause impairments associated with violence. Many LD patients
have no aggressiveness tendencies or only mild degrees of low
frustration tolerance and irritability and pose no danger; however, a
lesser number experience explosive anger, a lesser number experience
homicidal thoughts and impulses, and much lesser number commit
homicides. Since such large numbers are affected by LD, this small
percent can be highly significant. Much of the violence associated with
LD can be avoided with better prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of
LD.
