Rosemary B. –
Next week, it will be the 10th anniversary since I was bitten multiple times by Lyme Ticks in my town of Newmarket, while biking on forest and open grassy field paths. This wretched disease turned my life upside down, blinded me (until I had double strabismus eye surgery a year ago this week, after waiting 29 months for my surgery), crippled me, and caused me to lose my job and become unemployable. I would not wish LTD on ANYONE!
I’ve been a very vocal activist and awareness raiser about Lyme Disease for nearly a decade. Things have changed so much since I acquired Lyme. There was only one kind of Lyme Tick in the region in 2008; now, there are at least 11, and the latest one, Powassan, is almost always fatal in 12 – 18 months. There is no real cure for Lyme, and it chiefly attacks your neuro-muscular functions. I only know 2 other people who have had Lyme longer than I have, but they are very ill at the moment, I have lost more than 5 dozen friends to LTD.
The demographic most likely to be bitten and infected is the 2 to 22 year old group. Lyme affects kids worse than adults!
There are many ways to prevent yourself and your family from being bitten by ticks, and that is to use safe, natural, effective repellents.
I am a Monarch Butterfly Nanny who rescues, raises and releases dozens of Monarchs every year. I have to tramp through forests and fields to find eggs and larvae on the milkweed leaves, putting me at great risk for being bitten again (as well as my dogs). So now I spray all exposed skin areas (except eyes) with Tick Off Essential Oil Repellant which has pleasant aromatheraputic fragrance, and it keeps not only ticks away, but I noticed that I’m not bothered by mosquitoes, deer flys and ants, as well.
Highly recommended. Keep a bottle in the console of your vehicle, another at home, and a third in your purse, so you are “always covered”. I uses mine on my dogs underbellies, as well.
