Tickborne diseases are rising throughout North America from a variety of ticks and other creatures, which carry and pass on different microorganisms to humans and animals.
Tickborne diseases have more than doubled in 13 years and represent 77% of all vector-borne disease reports. Lyme disease accounts for 82% of all cases.
Recent research reveals that the standard two-tier testing recommended by the CDC can lead to false positive or false negative results. In fact, the ELISA and Western blot tests can miss up to 60% of well-defined Lyme disease cases.
