Lyme Myths
Myth#1: No rash, no worries
Reality: Less than 50% of people actually get a rash
Myth #2: It isn’t Summer, so I don’t have to worry
Reality: Ticks are alive year-round & are very active in March & October!
Myth #3: I treat my outdoor pets, so they can safely come in the house
Reality: Topical agents used on animals, may not kill the ticks. They may appear inactive & later fall off in your house.
Myth #4: I had Lyme disease once, so I am now immune
Reality: You can be infected every time you are bitten & multiple bites can make it worse. NO ONE IS IMMUNE.
