Yes, this is something of a crux for me—what are our odds of noticing, if we’re paranoid? Folks say a rash is only present in 70-80% of cases; do you have stats on how often the rest is present? (How would one generate those stats?)
Jefftk, can you say more about the people who know who didn’t initially get the symptoms but later got arthritic symptoms, and about how many people you know who got Lyme altogether, and how sure you are that the arthritic symptoms are from Lyme?
