Just had a look at the CDC FB page - they will need someone full-time to remove all the Lyme posts :-)

Hopefully this will attract attention. Didn't they just get a new Director? I thought I saw something in the news that the old Director was out.

https://www.facebook.com/CDC

Although I can't promote bashing the CDC but if you want to post on their fb - go for it!

Is it hacked or just an organized effort by Lymies to increase awareness ?

I think it's an organized effort by those with Lyme to increase awareness (Lyme Awareness Month activity)...

I think every month should be Lyme awareness month until there is proper testing.

You can't say the CDC didn't earn this type attention. 30 years behind.

Just looked at the FB page. I thought it was pretty humorous. :) I don't have a FB page personally so, I don't think I can post anything. But, yes, the CDC has certainly earned the negative attention / posts.

Now it's time to alert the media to the overwhelming Lyme popularity of the CDC's Facebook page. The media will either ignore it or have a field day with it. He he, hope it's the latter.

These people are doing a service by trying to educate others on the risks of Lyme. Hats off !

My mom also told me today that she heard a news report that the number of Lyme cases is expected to increase significantly. Must be all those people "misdiagnosed" with Lyme that they are referring to. And let me tell you if they are reporting it on the news this way there is a huge explosion in the cases they are seeing, as many of the people here already know.

And btw if there is no accurate test but chronic lyme is a myth than how do they stop it from contaminating up the blood supply ? People who have Lyme are not given accurate test results and will continue to donate blood.
