Lyme Disease Controversy
from FX Medicine Podcast Central
The existence of Lyme-like disease is hotly debated in Australia, with many doctors being ostracised by their colleagues for even mentioning the four letter word. Today, we are joined by Jennie Burke of Australian Biologics, who is no stranger to the controversy surrounding the existence of Borrelia species in Australia. She shares with us her experience, the challenges with adequate testing, and the politics of this emerging Borrelia, or "Borrelia-like" infection - which may or may not be the classical tick-borne disease found in every other continent bar Antarctica.
