Protecting Your Family from Lyme Disease
Ticks can be found in wooded or brushy areas and in tall vegetation, and can jump on unsuspecting dogs and humans. As you probably know, ticks can carry the bacterium that causes Lyme disease. If the condition is treated early, it can be easily cured using antibiotics. Undiagnosed, Lyme disease can spread to the nervous system, joints, and heart and have serious consequences.
This podcast offers Lyme disease protection tips from Gregg Tolliver MD, Medical Director of Infection Control & Chief of Staff at MarinHealth Medical Center. Learn how to repel ticks, how to look for them and remove them, and how to recognize Lyme disease symptoms early, before the illness has a chance to progress.
