The reward was posted for over five years and not one challenge was ever offered. Randy Sykes who was the creator of the award commented, "the reward was designed to be controversy, stimulant discussion and call a spade a spade and I believe it did that. I decided to end the reward today (5/5/09), because the evidence is clear and very strong that lyme cannot be eradicated after 42 days of treatment." The reward included other co-sponsors that supported Randy's goal of the reward as well as financial terms. NEWS & EVENTS   LYME A BioTerrorsim Agent? More...

The IDSA guidelines have sweeping and significant impacts on Lyme disease medical care.
