toms or severity. We need to know that ticks can carry more than one tick-borne disease, complicating the symptoms and often times guiding our doctors down the wrong path with misdiagnosis.


If you have been bitten by a tick or


have strange, unexplained symptoms, who you see matters. You want to see a medical provider that has experience diagnosing and treating not only acute but chronic tick-borne infections. But most important, you need to know that no matter how long you’ve been sick, with the right provider and the right treatment protocol, full recovery is possible.


If this is you or someone you know,


please know that we can help connect you to resources. You can reach us at info@mldse.org
