It is too bad that people still have to be filled with such doubt when it comes to things like this. There are some celebrities in the US that have been afflicted and I think that helps put a face on the disease if you don't know someone personally. Happy Birthday to the person you speak of. May their day be filled with lots of love from family and friends.
Thank you! Shania Twain, Avril Lavigne, Alec Baldwin, Yolanda Foster, Ben Stiller are only a few of the celebrities that got Lyme and helped raise awareness. Nowadays people here more often about Lyme disease, it still needs more attention, as people don't know much about it. It's hard to believe that a simple tick bite can put you in a wheelchair, but it's true.
For sure! My wife and I camp in the summer and we are always very cautious about where we go and where we let our dog go. The past couple of years the tick population has been very high in our area and the local news stations frequently are telling people to be on high alert.
It's great to hear that thé local news stations inform the population about the possible danger!
