Book Review of Bitten: The Secret History of Lyme Disease and Biological Weapons

Bitten: The Secret History of Lyme Disease and Biological Weapons
reviewed on + 4 more book reviews


I didn't expect a book about Lyme disease to be a page turner but I stayed up all night reading this. It's got drama (true story), mystery, science and evil. As a family member of a person totally disabled by Lyme I was well informed before I read the book, but Ms. Newby made the very complicated science and corruption trail clear and easy to follow. It's interesting that it was published just before the Covid tragedy. toward the end of the book she talks about her hope that lessons have been learned. Sadly however, they have NOT, and the parallels with Covid are chilling.
