Australia: Researcher calls for action after those suffering Lyme Disease head abroad…
A TURRAMURRA researcher is calling on the medical fraternity to advocate for recognition of Lyme disease in Australia, both for treatment and insurance purposes.
Mualla McManus’s call follows an appeal from tick bite victim and East Lindfield teen Francesca Wallis who is trying to raise $30,000 for Lyme disease treatment at a German clinic, as the disease is not recognised by most doctors in Australia. The teen is so crippled by the disease that she can no longer attend school.
