Lyme Disease

 

Lyme disease is a tick-borne illness, which if not treated properly, can cause serious physical and neurological harm.  Lyme disease has become the leading tick-borne illness in the United States. In 1999, 16,273 cases of Lyme disease were reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).  With tick-borne illnesses on the rise, it's important that you have a basic understanding about ticks so you know how best to avoid them and protect yourself, your family, and your pets.
