I never use "google", but I did do searches.

Interesting ideas.

The discovery of a 15 million year old tick in amber carrying the infection seems to lend evidence that B. burgdorferi has been present for some time, however.

Seems that white-footed mice are a main vector in Lyme Disease.

I never doubt the ability of scientists to "do some things".

Am in the process of studying tick borne diseases in a non-professional capacity. The data from scientists, clinicians and those afflicted with these diseases becomes more interesting the further I delve into it.

Each of these infections and co-infections can have more than a hundred variations...

We have a problem, methinks and my preliminary research is showing the medical profession is way behind on this. Many in the medical industry by way of analogy are arguing whether the Earth or the Sun is the center of the Universe.

Don't ask me about my military service or heroic acts...most of it is untrue.

Pronoun: Yes, SIR !
