They're comparing babesiosis to malaria, not Lyme.

A lot of the "Lyme-literate" discussion (from a layperson's perspective) talks about: 1) tick-borne coinfections like Babesia, 2) Borrelia "hiding out" in parts of the body where antibiotics don't circulate easily like nerve tissue.

I don't typically see either point addressed in these kinds of discussions. Is the 2nd one even plausible biologically?
