May 18: Lyme and other Tick Borne Diseases

Lyme disease is the most common tick-borne disease in the Northern Hemisphere. Borrelia is transmitted to humans by the bite of infected ticks. It started just to our south and now affects communities throughout Maine.

Join us on Common Health on Wednesday, May 18 as we look at the experience, epidemiology, prevention and cure of Lyme Disease.

We invite your calls and email with questions and comments.
