Time for Lyme to hold gala to raise money for research
On April 18, Time for Lyme will present its bi-annual Gala event titled, "The Dream, Creating a Lyme Free World," at the Hyatt Regency in Greenwich. Proceeds from the gala will go towards combating the devastating effects of Lyme and other tick borne illnesses. Call 969-1333 for more information and tickets.
The rates of Lyme disease — and the serious, often debilitating symptoms it can cause -— have been rising steadily across the U.S. and throughout the world. In fact, health experts from the Wildlife Conservation Society just released a report listing 12 pathogens, including the agents behind avian flu, Ebola, cholera, and Lyme disease, which are likely to invade new regions as a result of global climate change. Other experts are reporting that the ticks that carry the Lyme disease bacteria, Borrelia burgdorferi, once thought to be transmitted only by deer and mice, can also be spread by chipmunks and other small animals.
