Doug's Dicovery: Tick Season!
WGME, Channel 13, Portland, Maine
April 30, 2008

This link will take you to the latest episode of Doug's Discovery.
http://www.wgme.com/Features/DOUG_new.shtml

After this week, to view this video you'll have to scroll down the
page and look for the previous entries and find one titled "Tick Season".

"With 14 kinds of ticks in the state you'd think they'd be a problem -
but only one - the deer tick - poses significant risk. Lyme disease -
discovered in 1977 - can impact any Maine resident and it can be a
painful disease. For information on how to protect yourself against
Lyme disease follow the link to the website below."

I think they're wrong about only one kind of tick poses a significant threat. VERY wrong.

I'll go check out the website.

They are wrong, Lymetoo!

And if you ask me that's a pretty big error!

How many people will not seek treatment because they were bitten by a tick that poses "no risk"?

The vast majority of information being given to the general public also contains misinformation!
