For Immediate Release May is National Lyme Disease Awareness Month and the Kentuckiana Lyme Support Group offers a free showing of the award winning documentary Under Our Skin on 5/11 at 5pm The Kentuckiana Lyme Support Group is hosting a free showing of the award winning documentary Under Our Skin at 5pm on May 11th at Hurstbourne Christian Church at 601 Nottingham Parkway, Louisville, KY 40222. In addition to activities in the US, Lyme advocates in 30 countries are hosting awareness and education events on May 10th & 11th as a part of a Worldwide Lyme Protest. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that more 1 million US residents have been infected with Lyme disease between 2009 and 2011 alone. It is the fastest growing infectious disease in America and the vast majority of those infected remain undiagnosed or misdiagnosed with ailments such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Dementia, Autism and even MS and ALS. The primary vector of Lyme disease is the tiny Deer Tick, and the presence of this species is growing in and around Kentuckiana. Released in 2008, Under Our Skin explains the key issues surrounding the prevention and treatment of Lyme disease and the devastating effects of infections that are under treated and allowed to spread due to ignorance surrounding the facts and scope of this epidemic. With more than 4.3 million people infected since 1990 according to CDC statistics, many know someone suffering with Lyme disease. In the absence of an appropriate national public health response to this growing epidemic, more and more families will face the trauma and sadness of supporting a loved one suffering from this debilitating and deadly disease. Please share this invitation with others and encourage them to attend this event. For more information you can phone (502) 383-1660 or visit www.kentuckyindianalymesupport.org Directions to the church can be found here: http://www.hccnews.org/location.htm Trailer for Under Our Skin can be viewed here: http://www.youtube.com/openeyepictures
