Sexual transmission

[edit]

Within the past 10 years they have begun to revise the idea that Lymes disease is not transmissible through unprotected sex, with couples showing the same strains regularly.

I will not edit the article but I think its worth considering. https://www.lymedisease.org/lyme-sexual-transmission-2/ 2601:154:C000:4CF0:5B6:330A:A3C8:3070 (talk) 16:20, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

lymedisease.org is not a credible source, and neither are the self identified ”LLMDs” commentating over the article.
The study cited was funded by Charles E. Holman Morgellons Disease Foundation which is part of a broader misinformation campaign surrounding Lyme, and the authors didn’t disclose that in their study. EVOSexybeast (talk) 04:06, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Addition of (debunked ) conspiracy theories?

[edit]

I think the page is very good and comprehensive. However, I looked for the term conspiracy on the page and didnt find it. I wonder if this is undue apprehension ? I think we should take misinformation head on.

A widely circulated conspiracy theory is that B.burgdorferi was manipulated at Plum Island. I think this should be mentioned, but wanted to test teh waters on talk before adding it. Wuerzele (talk) 11:34, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This topic is more relevant to plum island than Lyme disease. It would more likely belong here if not already on there https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plum_Island_Animal_Disease_Center EVOSexybeast (talk) 00:54, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
