People Magazine – Avril Lavigne Suffers from Lyme Disease: Things to Know about the Illness

Commentary: I was interviewed by People magazine about Lyme and associated tick-borne diseases after Canadian singer Avril Lavigne’s recent bout with Lyme disease. For those who missed seeing the live interview, the link is below. Congratulations to People for highlighting the importance of Lyme, as a rapidly spreading epidemic. Ticks are containing multiple bacterial, parasitic and viral infections, and education and prevention of tick-borne infections is essential if we are to effectively combat this growing health threat.
