Lyme disease is the most common disease carried by ticks in the United States, and the number of those afflicted is growing steadily. If left untreated, the diseases carried by ticks--known as tick-borne diseases--can cause severe pain, fatigue, neurological problems, and other serious health problems. The Institute of Medicine held a workshop October 11-12, 2010, to examine the state of the science in Lyme disease and other tick-borne diseases."--Publisher's website Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Notes English Subject Tick-borne diseases -- Congresses Lyme disease -- Congresses Lyme disease.
