Original Note:
Lyme disease is natural, not man-made. It was first characterized in Connecticut, but it didn't originate there. Prior to the 1970s, Lyme rashes were treated in Wisconsin & Europe. Scientists detected Lyme-causing bacteria in museum specimens dating back to 1894. https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/no-lyme-diease-is-not-an-escaped-military-bioweapon-despite-what-conspiracy-theorists-say/2019/08/09/5bbd85fa-afe4-11e9-8e77-03b30bc29f64_story.html https://academic.oup.com/jid/article-abstract/170/4/1027/840545 https://www.medicaljournals.se/acta/content_files/files/pdf/38/5/38285289.pdf https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamadermatology/article-abstract/531700
