Lyme
Disease
The risk of contracting Lyme Disease in Ontario is still
relatively small, but you're about to learn about two women
.. bitten in different parts of the province .. by
ticks they never saw.
Think about what it must be like to be perfectly healthy
one day and bedridden and wracked with pain the next. And
imagine the anger and frustration you’d feel after
turning to doctors for help. Many don’t have
the answers and some dismiss your pain as psychological.
It’s a nightmarish scenario and a reality for some
people with Lyme Disease. Until recently we didn't
think there were many places you could get infected in Canada
but the little blacklegged tick that spreads this disease
is on the move.
