I too have been treated for Lyme Disease (actually there are 5 known tick
borne diseases) and had the dubious distinction of introducing the
"bulls-eye rash" to the interns at St. Lukes Roosevelt Hospital in NYC (they
have flowers there everyday in memory to George Balanchine the
choreographer). I would suggest that nothing ever be done by a single
archaeological technician in the field. After site survey, another can look
over another, and legally defensible testimony about anything is better
corroborated. Ticks are the worst in the fall, a few weeks ago, according to
the papers.

The Mensa organization published through the NJ organization that some
success with severe cases had been made in the pressure chambers used for
diving. I can't recall the actual specifics, I think it was done in
Maryland. They are also used in burn cases to relieve air pressure on
wounds. There has been some evidence that the spirochete localizes in heart
muscle, though testing negative in blood tests.
