Lyme disease is reaching near epidemic levels here in New England, often with devastating and long-lasting consequences.

Symptoms are no joke and include: fever, rash, severe headaches, neck stiffness, facial palsy, paralysis, heart palpitations, arthritis with severe joint pain and swelling, chronic pain, dizziness, shortness of breath, inflammation of the brain and spinal cord, nerve pain, shooting pains, numbness or tingling in hands or feet, and problems with short-term memory.
