If you're an outdoors lover, you need to know about ticks -- those tiny, hard-to-see critters that can suck your blood and give you Lyme disease, a fast-growing infectious disease that can cause everything from horrific headaches to joint pains to cognitive confusion.
We're in the midst of tick season so you'll want to listen to my upcoming Gab With the Gurus Radio Show, Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Lyme Disease But Were Too Confused to Ask.
The show takes place join us live on Tues., Aug. 25 at 3 pm or you can listen later, at your convenience.
Guests include::
- Kenneth Liegner, M.D., who had treated many Lyme patients in his practice in Armonk, New York. He is co-author of Coping With Lyme: A Practical Guide to Dealing with Diagnosis and Treatment, and he has written about the subject for the Journal of American Medicine, the New England Journal of Medicine, and the Journal of Clinical Microbiology. He practices medicine in Armonk, New York.(See interesting New York Times article here in which he was quoted.)
