'The German Borreliosis Society and Dr Armin Schwartzbach have told me that 

One Million New cases of Lyme borreliosis were 


recorded for residents of Germany, based on public data released from

 Payments by German Health insurance companies for calendar year 2012.



ESTIMATES for China are between 20,000 to 30,000 

new cases of Lyme Borreliosis annually 

[ with statements that the true numbers of Chinese cases is ,like in the 

USA a ten to 20 fold multiple of the ESTIMATED NUMBERS.]'
