Synopsis: With millions around the world infected—and millions more at risk—Lyme and tick-related diseases are now today's fastest growing infectious diseases. Yet, even as the number of Lyme disease sufferers continues to climb and other dangerous tick-borne disorders emerge, diagnosis remains elusive, often hampering chances of early treatment. Now, this complete guide tells you everything you need to know to protect yourself and your family from the pain of Lyme disease, including expert advice on:

• Recognizing the symptoms of Lyme disease
• Finding the best medical treatment
• Avoiding disease-carrying ticks
• Accessing online information on vaccines, repellents, and the latest research
• Finding self-help and support organizations, state medical complaint boards, products, and related services

Review: Lyme disease is so difficult to detect that the average sufferer sees five physicians before the disease is properly diagnosed. Thirty-five percent of Lyme disease patients suffer permanent bodily damage, and 17 percent lose their jobs. Karen Vanderhoof-Forschner fared even worse than that: she contracted the disease while pregnant (it was misdiagnosed as arthritis), and passed it on to her unborn child, who died when he was 6. She became an expert on ticks and the diseases they spread, started the Lyme Disease Foundation, and compiled all her knowledge into this book, a handy guide for anyone living in tick-infested areas.
