Missed the first sentence in the link I posted.....

If you have Lyme Neuroborreliosis you will likely succumb to it eventually if you don’t receive proper, open-ended treatment.
Untreated Lyme disease is said to be 100% fatal.

Here is a paragraph from the LA Times I thought summed up the Ebola hype very well.

The Los Angeles Times reported: “Ebola has secured a special place in the American imagination. It's not just an illness but a phantasmagoria, a hideous acid trip come to life. Maybe that's why some people, convinced that two infected patients in a state-of-the-art isolation unit represent a direct path to a zombie apocalypse, have gone so far as to send nasty emails to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and to Emory University Hospital…”

But the hype went on. Veteran journalists know not to look at a sexy story too closely.

So the death rate from Lyme is considerably lower than 100%.
LOL!!

I've also heard that being born is a terminal illness with a 100% chance of eventual death..

Once removed from their initial life support, they are doomed to die..

:0)
