VERy LITTLE PROGRESS has been made to stop ticks. In a first, an infested park closed for the summer. You can now get a lifelong allergy to meat and dairy from a single tick bite. My newest article. #Lymedisease

Nice to see doctors speaking up. It’s time for more to do the same so that significant change will finally take place.

Tick-borne diseases as a specialization in Medical school? More dedicated clinics for tick-borne diseases?
