| - Today alone, I got 17 phone
calls from my local residents |
00:00:05.588 - 00:00:10.300 |
| claiming that they have
Lyme disease. |
00:00:10.427 - 00:00:12.886 |
| - Well, frankly,
up until a fewyears ago, |
00:00:13.013 - 00:00:15.806 |
| until 1975, |
00:00:15.932 - 00:00:17.558 |
| the medical community had no
idea what Lyme disease even was. |
00:00:17.684 - 00:00:21.061 |
| All we knewwas that it caused
psychiatric disturbances |
00:00:21.187 - 00:00:24.356 |
| and severe
neurological disorders. |
00:00:24.482 - 00:00:26.650 |
| - Even so, it seems
that over the last fouryears, |
00:00:26.776 - 00:00:30.070 |
| this disease has become
no less debilitating, |
00:00:30.196 - 00:00:32.531 |
| especially here
in the tristate suburban area. |
00:00:32.657 - 00:00:35.034 |
| - I assure you
that the medical community |
00:00:35.160 - 00:00:36.994 |
| is very close to developing
a treatment for Lyme disease |
00:00:37.120 - 00:00:39.913 |
| because we now know the source. |
00:00:40.040 - 00:00:41.290 |
| - The tick, right? |
00:00:41.416 - 00:00:42.458 |
| - Well, technically,
the infection stems |
00:00:42.584 - 00:00:44.585 |
| from the blood of the deer. |
00:00:44.711 - 00:00:45.919 |
| The tick isjust
the transmitter. |
00:00:46.046 - 00:00:48.005 |
| - Well, in any case,
what precautions |
00:00:48.131 - 00:00:49.715 |
| should people be taking? |
00:00:49.841 - 00:00:51.592 |
| - [sighs] |
00:00:51.718 - 00:00:54.094 |
| Okay, let's have 'em. |
00:00:54.220 - 00:00:57.139 |
