On the June 15th edition of Your Call, we’ll have a conversation about Lyme disease, which is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected black-legged ticks.
Each year more than 300,000 Americans are diagnosed with Lyme disease. Untreated Lyme disease can produce a wide range of symptoms, depending on the stage of infection. These include fever, rash, facial paralysis, and arthritis.
How much is known about Lyme disease? And what are the best ways to treat it? Join the conversation with Renee Kemp and you.
