    Dealing with AHCY first?

    Thanks for the stats, I was about to look for those after I broke free from my children's paws :) The information I linked/quoted is coming from a Lyme Disease website that also questions Yasko, so I didn't feel "swayed" but what I was reading. Perhaps the 2% is in looking at all 39 variants...
