Public Health Information - Lyme Disease

Lyme disease is caused by a bacterium spread by bites from ticks.  Treated early there is significant chance of the disease being stopped in its tracks, but identified too late (due to lack of awareness) can lead to unnecessary long term suffering on behalf of the patient.
