Here is an excerpt from the CBC press release, on the CanLyme website:
Lyme disease, a mysterious tick-borne illness, is the fastest spreading
vector-borne disease in the United States, and over the past decade, the tick
that carries Lyme has been spreading across Canada with alarming speed.
On Thursday, October 10 at 8:00 p.m. (8:30
p.m. NT), CBC-TV’s The Nature of Things premieres TICKED OFF: THE MYSTERY OF
LYME DISEASE, a fascinating and
eye-opening documentary that explores a disease that has devastating effects, is
often misdiagnosed and mistreated, and continues to be mired in a medical
controversy.
I watched one of the trailers, and Dr. Maureen McShane is interviewed for this special. She is the Lyme-literate MD who diagnosed me with Lyme disease and headed me in the right direction towards recovery.
