Lyme disease cases have doubled in the U.S.
Categories: Diet & Weight Loss, Fitness
Do you plan to spend some time this summer camping, hiking or outdoors in some fashion? Many of us do, and all those pesky critters should not be part of the fun. I am, of course, talking about mosquitoes, ticks, chiggers and other annoyances.Ticks, in particular, are rather dangerous in many cases since they can transmit Lyme Disease to humans. just like mosquitoes can transmit disease, ticks are not as mobile and agile as mosquitoes but can be as dangerous. In fact, the number of Lyme Disease cases has doubled in the United States since 1991.
The CDC even says that estimate is low, and those figures (if accurate) mean that tick-transmitted diseases are the most popular of all diseases transmitted by bug or animal. Watch that skin when you're outside if you can -- and keep those ticks away!
