Jill! Don't think I ever told you That: I was determined about 15 years ago by blood test to have Epstein Barr--chronic fatigue. Was sensitive to about 9 different foods that I would never have dreamed......some I can remember were clams, peas, vinagar, and so on. Anyway to make a long story short I went to a nutritionist for about 2 years.....finally ended up on vitamins and that took care of it.....unless I slack on my vitamins and minerals......just recently (tired) I had to evaluate what I was taking and double up on some.......If I am faithful to my vitamins and minerals, watch what I eat and drink I do fine. Put it like this if it was not for my vitamins and minerals I would not be here today.......that's a given. I think of you often and continue to hope you can overcome this condition. dealie

More on lyme. There's an article in the NY Times today, that in some homes in the northeast 80% of the ticks are infected w/ lyme and there are 600 ticks per acre. The homes most infeted are those that are in the suburban areas less than 3 acres with small patches of woods nearby. The homes that are in bigger wooded areas have less lyme (and less ticks): The scientists found that study sites smaller than three acres averaged three times as many ticks as did larger forest patches and seven times as many infected ticks. At one woodland home, the tick density was 600 per acre and 75 percent of those insects were infected with Lyme disease. In an 18-acre patch, in contrast, the tick density was 100 per acre and only 40 percent were infected. nytimes.com The northeast is most endemic, but other areas of the country are getting more lyme. It's spring, so be careful. In fact, Connecticut had so much lyme last year that the state has passed a law that laboratories no longer have to report test results (positive) to the CDC. Only doctors. But last year, nearly 80% of repoerting came from labs, and only 13% from doctors, in Connecticut. Doctors are too busy, I guess, and don't bother to report many times. So Connecticut will officially be able tos ay their lyme cases are going down when they're really going up. If you have friends in these kinds of homes and in the northeast let them know. I may seem to be harping on something but prevention is invaluable.
