Film: Under Our Skin: The Untold Story of Lyme Disease (dir by Andy Abrahams Wilson, Open Eye Picutres, 2008)

Under Our Skin: The Untold Story of Lymn Disease is an interesting film which follows a series of patients struggling with what apparently is chronic or persistant Lyme disease, and a series of physicians trying to treat them, and another series of physicians convinced that chronic Lyme disease does not exist, and another physician who on his own time is studying the behavior of the bacterial agent which causes Lyme disease and comparing it to other bacterial vectors of disease.

This is a film about medicine, microbes, mavericks and money.
