Tick-borne disease a serious and growing threat
in your own backyard
In the United States, people are most
likely to contract Lyme Disease at home. Your odds of contracting the
disease are directly related to the number of ticks existing on your
own property that carry the disease-causing bacteria
Lyme Disease is not an illness to be
taken lightly. It can be difficult to diagnose, and if it goes undiagnosed
and untreated, it can result in serious, permanent damage to the victim's
joints and heart. Animals can be affected, too. Dogs, cats, and horses
are all subject to Lyme Disease.
