I had it two summers ago along with Lyme when it was still rare here. It's a single celled organism that attacks red blood cells and platelets, like malaria, and is treated the same way as malaria, not Lyme or anaplasmosis (look that up too). When I had it, no one I went to had heard of it until I got to Dr. Macqueen, who had dealt with it in Maine. Now I'm sure the medical community knows about it. Most people fight it off eventually, but it can possibly kill and can definitely linger in your system. I want to praise Dr. Macqueen and the Cayuga Center for Infectious diseases.
