Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children

Prevention and Treatment of Lyme Disease: Discussion

10:35 am

Dr. Armin Schwarzbach:

Yes. This mentality is shared in the USA. An increasing number of studies are coming about. One must read into this field to find out what the experts are saying. It is not just done by GPs. One could compare our experts to specialists in oncology or HIV. Prevention is also an important aspect of this matter. It is not just a question of the ELISA technique. People need to be educated about prevention. There should also be an information campaign about how to diagnose it in the first and second stages.
