Feds Launch Major Lyme Disease Push

The feds are launching one of the biggest-ever efforts to combat Lyme disease, especially in the Northeast, where cases are surging and nearly 60% of ticks carry the bacteria.

A human vaccine trial is underway, offering hope for prevention. Experts stress early diagnosis and outdoor safety—wear gear, use repellent, check for ticks, and seek medical help if symptoms appear. This is a multi-pronged fight to reclaim public health. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
