Lyme Comes to Ugly Betty

I was watching the first episode of the  third season for Ugly Betty last night because it is supposed to be more like the original season, which I loved. I’m not sure about that, but I’m glad I watched The Manhattan Project because Betty confronted a former school enemy (Kimmey, played by Lyndsay Lohan) to patch up a fight that ended up with her dad being fired and Kimmey listed a bunch of stuff that was going on in her life and said she thought she had Lyme.

I’m always happy to see a mention of Lyme disease in prime time television, even if it is in a slightly silly context, because it raises awareness.

    In this episode, Lindsay Lohan’s character claims,”I’m tired all the time”. She says, “I looked it up on the internet and I’m 98 percent certain I have Lyme disease.” She then gives the advice, “Don’t have sex in the woods on Fire Island.”

    I’m not sure that’s good press. Maybe if they write her off the show because she has to quit her job because of Lyme Disease, that would be ok.
