Really interesting research this fellow geographer with MS has done. Fascinating stuff! I wish I worked in a health care setting this sort of thing would be awesome to do. Alas I wasn't good at chemistry and someone has to keep the government running. Very nice to see a colleague using the tools we have to map things out for MS.

I always knew it had some geographic components just by virtue of the ethnic ties, but to see how it correlates with Lyme disease was a curious thing. Not making any judgements on it nor should anyone else. Just one more little piece of work towards figuring out this thing.

I usually go to the conference she presented at but had to miss it this year because of all things...MS. There's some irony for ya!

I'm too new to post a link but didn't want to wait or post junk just to be able to so I've put the link in my personal info (click on my name). Perhaps someone with the privilege might copy it in a response?
