Actually Lyme disease, particularly what is termed chronic Lyme disease, is a very political issue with its celebrity spokesmen and all that goes with it.

Probably a bit off topic but there is no scientific reason there is not a human vaccine and that is a shame.

Celebrity spokesmen? Political issue. Please do explain.
