Is Lyme disease much of a problem in Europe though?

Yes, a big one actually. In Austria, it’s really really bad. I’ve had it twice (rash and all) 20y ago already.

At a party, I heard one person mention that a doctor had told him that he had BOTH north american lyme disease AND european lyme disease.

Lucky him.

He was at the doctor's office because of severe symptoms that he suspected were due to lyme disease since he had received several tick bites years ago.
