CPN is a much different organism. Lyme Disease is spread exclusively through the bite of infected ticks.



Be VERY careful of your use of the word "exclusively" here

This is flat out misinformation. It has been scientifically shown that Borellia is not only passed by ticks, but by an number of biting insects that can pass blood between hosts. Our little friend the mosquito is certainly an under reported culprit.

But lyme is not Cpn (chlamydia pneumoniae.)

That is what Robbie asked.

I understand that.

I was just pointing out that Lyme, however, is not exclusively passed by ticks. This is a common misconception that doctors and normal people alike need to be aware of.

Sorry....don't mean to come off as rude.

Wasn't my intention. So...i apologize if there was offense taken.

It's a common characteristic of us Ken's to be thoughtful.

Nice to see another one of us. Ciao, Ken
