(for general release Feb. 8, 2018) Publication Date: April 17, 2018. Mary Beth does a brilliant job explaining why Lyme Disease is a profound medical problem that demands our attention. After you read this book, you will begin to question just how far we can trust government and medical authorities with any diseases. I am not someone who writes off Lyme disease at all, nor do I write off the effects of climate,change on numerous disease vectors. I should be its target audience: I've got chronic Lymes and in massive amounts, took a long time to get diagnosed, often debilitated by it, and I've been fighting for decades about climate change. I expected more than a defensive book with lots,of insinuations about not getting enough “respect” from the powers that be. Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2018. It not only discusses the impact of climate change on tick-borne illness but the book really dives deep into way more (with specific examples of studies, patient stories, interviews, and details of microbiology). Interesting, although somewhat alarming reading. Everywhere. It also has lots of statistics, if you like numbers as I do. My tired eyes were the only thing that forced me to put the book down but I finished reading it cover to cover in a couple days. I join the author in applauding the extraordinary efforts of researchers in this country to seek solutions without the stamp of approval from Center for Disease Control, National Institute of Health and the Infectious Disease Society of America, without which research funding doesn’t happen. Lyme disease is spreading rapidly around the globe as ticks move into places they could not survive before. . The first response from the medical establishment seems to be "it is all in your head" when they don't have the answer.

Be the first to ask a question about Lyme. Really disturbed by the glossing over of the serious risks of antibiotic resistance.
Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2018, This book is incredible! I think it could have been much shorter or even could have been written as a review article.
By Mary Beth Pfeiffer.
No, this is not the book I was looking for. The situation is serious, as this book spells out, and the government and medicine need to focus more money and resources to stop the human toll taken by these serious pathogens. Unfortunately, this is basically an advocacy book. Absolutely must read. I love this!!! Terrific book that points out the I might say criminal behavior of our Government (in cooperation?
Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2019. Because of this public health failure, there has been no government funded research in how to treat late stage cases effectively. Start by marking “Lyme: The First Epidemic of Climate Change” as Want to Read: Error rating book. .
excellent book, in fact reading a second time to get all information presented in this book. Brings to light the politics of Lyme treatment and the failure of the medical system. “Ticks can, and sometimes do, deliver two, three, or four diseases in one bite.” People are now getting Lyme with Babesiosis which will make your Lyme three times worse. The tone at times is . Read honest and unbiased product reviews from our users. Most believe that it doesn't exist and that Lyme is easy to treat.
Such a horrible disease that needs to be brought to the forefront. Goodreads helps you keep track of books you want to read. Thank you, Mary Beth, for your commitment to finding out why ticks, Lyme Disease and tick-borne illnesses are on the rise, and providing a glimpse of hope for the future where tick bites may not lead to debilitating illness or death. Unfortunately, some who are now in cemeteries didn't live to see the day when lyme was acknowledged as a persistent infection, that becomes chronic and affects many body systems. This is a well researched and very informative book. I heard an interview between Alan Chartock + Mary Beth Pfeiffer on NPR where she discussed this book + touched on the salient points. I have read multiple books on this topic and I think this is one of the best. The tone at times is .
Despite great public outcries that this public health issue has been mishandled, a small group of frequently financially involved individuals have stubbornly held on to outdated and wrong ideas about this epidemic that have done great harm. The perspectives presented are broad and not always obvious to individuals focused on specific aspects of a disease. I've always been afraid of them.
