I’m somewhat skeptical because of the location, alleged source of infection, and because Lyme has become something of a catch-all diagnosis for chronic health issues by some fringes of healthcare.

But maybe she got a legit diagnosis from an actual, reputable doctor, idk.

Well Lyme is a positive or negative test so there isnt really a grey area. Ive tested positive and been treated for it 11 times.

"Experts" saying that she got Lyme from mice in her clasroom sets my BS meters off big time. Lyme isn't common at all in the area.

I come from the birthplace and epicenter of Lymes Disease in the Hudson Valley and I have never heard of mice carrying ticks and bringing them into your house. I guess it's possible, but I bet it was just an easy way to explain the infection and they went with it.
