Senate Passes Lyme Disease Bill | Fargo News

The Senate just passed a major bipartisan bill—the Kay Hagan Tick Reauthorization Act—to fight the rising tide of tick-borne diseases like Lyme and Powassan. Named after Senator Kay Hagan, who died from a tick-borne illness, the legislation boosts research, testing, treatment, and prevention efforts nationwide. It reauthorizes funding for regional research centers, grants to state health departments, and supports a national strategy to combat these growing public health threats—especially critical in states like Minnesota where cases are surging. This is a crucial step toward protecting communities and staying ahead of the epidemic. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
