Leo Varadkar (FG), Dublin West

As the Deputy knows, acute Lyme disease is caused by ticks. People should be made aware of the habitat. That is a very valid point. There is some work being done to raise awareness around the possibility of getting Lyme disease. The diagnosis of chronic Lyme disease, though, is a controversial diagnosis. I would ask people to be cautious about using overseas labs or treatments that may not be recognised here.
