I think it is because we have abnormalities and deficiencies in our immune system which allow Lyme to take hold and become a symptomatic problem. I bet Lyme is like EBV and other viral infections in that most people are exposed at some point but the immune deficiencies are what allow illness to flourish in some while others brush it off.

That makes sense, Ema. I think we have a lot of "flourishing" issues.
