Lyme: Are bacteria (or research) being starved to death?

Commentary: This report from John Ferro of the Poughkeepsie Journal discusses the discrepancy between funding for Lyme disease research and public health care costs. He reminds us that the recent study on desloratidine was not done with a clinical trial and therefore “its findings are suggestive at best”. The lack of adequate funding for research is clearly hurting our abilities to help find a cure. Lyme bill, HR 4701, introduced by Congressman Chris Gibson, which passed the House of Representatives, now needs to be passed through the Senate to get increased funding for research.
