U.S. House subcommittee discusses Lyme Disease

To read some excellent information presented to a U.S. House subcommittee discussing the global impact of Lyme disease, click here.  The information is so intelligently written.  I truly hope it will have an impact on those who make up the subcommittee, and that changes will be made as a result.  It is so exciting and a great relief to see the issue of Lyme disease being discussed out in the open, and for some members of the government to be 'on board' with us.

I have also found a general overview of the presentation.  Much easier to read!  Click here.

Progress in the U.S.

Thank you, Congressman Chris Gibson (N.Y.), for spearheading this government action on Lyme!  Read his press release here.

Little by little, there is more awareness of Lyme.  I am thankful that FINALLY some individuals in positions of power are waking up to the gravity of this situation.  I am anxious to see how our Parliament will respond to Elizabeth May's Lyme Bill.  I pray that all of the MPs will make the right decision.  Each and every one of them could be a simple 'walk in the woods' away from where I am.  Ticks are particularly bad this season, and everyone is at risk.

Finally, there is some HOPE of proper care in Canada.
