X-WR-CALDESC:Learn how to avoid ticks while enjoying the great outdoors. In
 fected ticks can transmit bacteria that cause Lyme disease. While most cas
 es of Lyme disease can be treated successfully with antibiotics\, if left 
 untreated infection can spread to joints\, the heart\, and the nervous sys
 tem. That’s why prevention is critical\, especially here in the northeast\
 , which\, along with the upper midwest\, is home to the highest concentrat
 ion of Lyme disease cases in the nation.\n\n“As a resident of an area with
  tons of ticks\, you have a responsibility\,” says presenter Neeta Connall
 y\, a tick-borne disease prevention expert who holds a master of science i
 n public health from Tulane University and a Ph.D. in entomology from the 
 University of Rhode Island. \n\n“Just as you would buckle your seat belt o
 r wear your helmet when you ride a bicycle\, I think we have a responsibil
 ity to check ourselves\, maybe modify our landscape if it’s particularly t
 ick-infested\, and treat our pets.”\n\nIn the seminar\, Connally will shar
 e simple strategies for staying tick-free. As Connally notes\, “If we have
  more conversations about prevention\, we can have fewer conversations abo
 ut diagnosis and treatment because we can get it on the front end — we sto
 p it in its tracks.” The seminar is presented in cooperation with the BLAS
 T Prevention Program of Lyme Connection\, a community-based organization t
 hat offers tick-borne disease prevention programming and patient-support s
 ervices.\n\n
