The Lyme Epidemic: Understanding Lyme & Other Tick-Borne Diseases

On the heels of the recent CDC announcement that over 300,000

people per year acquire Lyme Disease, this educational presentation will

provide insight into Lyme and the other diseases that ticks carry in our area. Howard

County is endemic for Lyme and is the second hardest hit county in the state!

Come out to

listen to Physician, author, and Lyme patient, Dr. Kathy Spreen! She will be

sharing her wealth of knowledge on the subject of Lyme and other tick-borne

diseases like Bartonella, Anaplasmosis, and Babesia. Afterwards, she will

showcase her recently published textbook, Compendium of Tick-Borne


Disease: A Thousand Pearls
, which is a wonderfully comprehensive

compilation of all the latest research, explanation of diagnostic approaches

and treatment options as well as alternative management plans.
