ByCanLyme August 14, 2019July 27, 2020
[CanLyme Note: Yet another U.S. state ignores the baseless dogma of the private group the Infectious Disease Society of America (IDSA), that chronic treatable active infection does not exist after 3 weeks of antibiotics.

ByCanLyme May 7, 2019July 27, 2020

ByCanLyme February 16, 2019July 27, 2020
[CanLyme Note: Robert Strang has been purveyor of misinformation relative to Lyme disease; it’s prevalence, the chronic nature of the disease, and the ability of the bacteria to survive short term antibiotics, for so long and with such an anti-science, pro-opinion bias see that he is disqualified to represent public health, yet the Nova Scotia government has…
