Description

Lyme Disease – a 3-part webinar series – Webinar #1

This first webinar focuses on “Preventing Lyme and Tick-Borne Diseases” The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that approximately 476,000 people are diagnosed with Lyme disease annually. Without an effective vaccine, accurate testing, or simple effective treatment, we must stop the spread of Lyme and tick-borne diseases (TBD) through prevention. In this presentation, Dr. Chesney will review the various ticks found in North America and the disease-causing pathogens that they carry. She will provide strategies for preventing tick bites and discuss the six steps to take after a tick bite. The signs, symptoms and treatment of acute blacklegged tick-borne diseases like Lyme disease will also be discussed. CE: 1 CEU (OBNM)
