Guests:

Pamela Weintraub, author of the book "Cure Unknown: Inside the Lyme Epidemic"

Kris Newby, senior producer of the documentary "Under Our Skin: An Infectious Film about Microbes, Money and Medicine"

Dr. Eugene Shapiro, professor in the department of pediatrics at the Yale University School of Medicine
