The doctor diagnosed chronic Lyme disease, but many experts say it doesn’t exist
Pat never spotted a tick or a rash. He didn’t get sick right away. Instead, it was possible that he had graciously hosted his Lyme bacteria for years, giving his unwelcome guests plenty of time to reproduce and deeply infiltrate his organs, muscles and nervous system. If this were the case, Pat would need to take antibiotics for six months or longer to recover.
