Lyme disease seems to be treated differently from other infections and is not taken seriously, or else there is not enough information available on it. The public is not even aware that it exists. I ask Dr. Lambert to comment on how this could be changed and if he agrees with that view. The lack of prevention is obviously a serious problem. I presume it could be easily overcome with a little education for the general public and medics. I would like to wish Tick Talk Ireland well as we approach the tenth anniversary of its foundation. I thank witnesses for the work they have done.
