Be on guard for Lyme disease

The Our View article in the Opinion section of the paper on Tuesday, Aug. 27 added great information to level up awareness about the deer tick bite and the bacterial infection Lyme disease.

It is timely as we go into the last summer holiday long weekend. The weather looks to be great, so families will enjoy lots of outdoor time.

There have been many recent Lyme awareness articles in news publications, and information on television and radio too. Knowledge about Lyme and how it is carried is so very important.

You might even look up at your gas station pump and see the direct message of Fight The Bite! Lake County Board District 5 Representative Bonnie Thomson Carter deserves a big thanks for a direct bull’s-eye hit by making available information for Lake County residents to do battle with Lyme.
