Lyme disease : why it's spreading, how it makes you sick, and what to do about it

Barbour, Alan G. 1946- (Author).

Summary: An expert on tick-borne diseases, Alan G. Barbour explains the course of illness that results from infection, diagnosis and treatment options, and steps that can be taken to avoid a tick bite in the first place. The ticks that transmit Lyme disease may also transmit other disease-causing pathogens, and these other infections are considered as well.
