Join Janine Hauck of <a href="https://www.palyme.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">PA Lyme Resource Network</a> to learn the best ways to avoid tick bites this year! The “Dare 2B Tick Aware” program aims to improve the use of prevention strategies, reduce tick bites, and improve early diagnosis, using the most current research available to standardize prevention messages across the state.We’ll explore Pennsylvania tick statistics; how to identify different kinds of ticks; where ticks live; how they behave; Lyme and other tick-borne diseases; recognizing the early symptoms of these diseases; how to prevent tick bites; and what to do if you’re bitten by a tick.<a href="https://acfree.librarycalendar.com/event/pa-lyme-resource-network-presents-dare-2b-tick-aware-6361" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Registration is appreciated, but walk-ins are welcome.

She never saw a tick on her or a bullseye rash, nor did she feel a tick bite. When she first noticed something was wrong, she went from doctor to doctor to no avail, until she was finally diagnosed with chronic Lyme and Anaplasmosis, almost two years after her initial symptoms. She is now in her fourth year of trying to recover and longs for the day when she can be as active and fit as she once was. Hardly a day goes by that she does not think about ticks. Janine has spent a lot of time learning about ticks and tick-borne illnesses. One of the things she learned is there are a lot of misconceptions out there regarding ticks and Lyme disease. She decided getting certificated by PA Lyme to go out and talk about ticks, their habitat and prevention would be a good thing to do. It is Janine’s hope that no one suffers like herself and other chronic Lyme patients, especially in her home state of Pennsylvania where there are a great deal of ticks and Lyme disease is on the rise.
