Lyme disease is an infection caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi and is spread to humans through the bite of an infected tick. While not all ticks carry Lyme disease, it is important to avoid being bitten by a tick while enjoying the outdoors.
In this webinar, Dr. Scott Gledhill, physician at Medcan, and Janet Sperling, a researcher at the University of Alberta and member of the Lyme Disease Foundation of Canada will address FAQs including:
o What is Lyme disease and how can Canadians minimize risk?
o What are the symptoms and signs?
o What to do if you find a tick on the skin?
o When should someone seek medical guidance?
