New York Says... Let's Pass A Bill To Make Officials Put Up Tick Warning Signs In All Of Our Parks!

Sounds good, right?

NO! NO! NO! See why here and note that there are LOTS of pictures to see and very little reading to do!

Thanks Tincup for posting.

Come on, all you NYState residents.
Time to do your good deed for the day.

Contact Didi Barrett ( assemblywoman NYS) here ;

http://assembly.state.ny.us/mem/Didi-Barrett/story/81510

Her website has a 'contact me' button.

My suggestion would be that ALL NYS Department of Health employees, in any capacity, be required to complete ILADS Tick Borne Infection training pursuant to employment.

Also,
All NYS LLMD's be insurance covered according to the specialized medical provider pay rates.

Let your voices be heard 💚

Idiots thinking ticks only go to parks. OMG! That's called CYA. Typical gov spending.

Do they not care that folks are getting attacked in their own yards?

I do applaud them for at least wanting to put signs up.

We know that ticks can occur in our yards, too, but a lot of people never think about ticks when they go for a walk or hike in a park.

My parent's retirement home has a tick sign in the adjoining park and my parents never thought twice about walking in the park, even though I have Lyme.

Once that sign went up, it really made a difference.

Isn't it a way to introduce awareness?

You know how awareness is spread around here? When a whole family dies! They were looking at a house, got attacked by ticks, 5 people dead in just a couple days.

So any way to warn & wake up the people that think "it won't happen to me".

(And that family hasn't been the first death that I'm aware of this year. I'm not in any local Lyme groups, this is real life.)
