This week we learn about ticks and tick borne diseases along with the details of a promising discovery. Researchers have learned the blood of white-tailed deer kills the bacterium that causes Lyme disease. We are joined by Dr. Stephen Rich of UMass at Amherst, a tick and tick disease expert who explains it all to us. We are also joined by Dr. Lyon Brown, a medical doctor and local friend who helps us make sense of it all. Don’t be scared of ticks, be informed and protect yourself. Listen, Learn and Enjoy.
