The Lyme bacteria uses manganese instead of iron like most bacteria, so we end up deficient in manganese.
"Low levels of manganese in the body can contribute to infertility, bone malformation, weakness, and seizures. It is fairly easy to get enough manganese in your diet -- this nutrient is found in
whole grains, nuts, and seeds."

Most people are just deficient in magnesium due to our food being grown in magnesium deficient ground because large farming corporations don't put back into the dirt all that is needed to make sure the crops are getting all they need to give the people that eat it the full range of minerals.
