Lyme Disease
Description
With wild deer and deer ticks increasingly common in suburban areas, Lyme disease has become a serious public health threat. This program familiarizes viewers with the symptoms of and treatments for Lyme disease, while providing additional information on how to prevent deer tick bites. Case studies feature a woman hospitalized with the illness after sustaining a tick bite hidden in her hair, and two patients who both contracted Lyme disease from deer ticks yet experienced widely varying symptoms and effects. The program includes the expert commentary of two authorities on Lyme disease: Dr Leila Zackrison, a rheumatologist, and Dr. Gary Manko, an internist.
