莱姆病以及许多其他病毒性和细菌性“诊断”的问题在于，它们是非特异性的。症状是非特异性的，抗体滴度也是非特异性的。

检测毫无意义，诊断基本上取决于医生。没有办法确定某人是否患有莱姆病，因为没有科学的黄金标准来开发和验证诊断，也没有因果生物体的证据。

没有任何科学研究满足Koch假设中任何一个针对伯氏疏螺旋体和莱姆病的标准。这个故事以及大规模推动人们对莱姆病的恐惧，其意图是为了销售更多产品，比如新型莱姆病疫苗。

The problem with Lyme disease, and many other viral and bacterial “diagnoses” are that they are non-specific. The symptoms are non-specific and the antibodies titers are also nonspecific.

The testing is meaningless and the diagnosis is essentially up to the physician. There is no way to determine if someone has Lyme disease because there is no scientific gold standard of comparison to develop and validate a diagnostic nor evidence of a causal organism.

There are no scientific studies satisfying even one of Koch’s postulates for Borrelia Burgdorferi and Lyme. This story and the massive push to scare people about Lyme is with the intention to sell more products like the new Lyme disease vaccines.
