Experts have raised the alarm about the growing threat of tick-borne Lyme disease, as cases begin to soar with rising temperatures.
In West Virginia, one county’s health department has warned that the state is currently seeing hundreds of cases of the condition, compared to a handful a few years ago.
The department administrator Howard Gamble told local news outlets that patients must see a healthcare professional ‘if a tick has bit you and it is embedded into your skin.’
100,000 visits to the ER room for tick bites, is this for real ?? C’mon people toughen up a little. Where will we go for real emergencies such as a heart attack, stroke, accidental severed arm or leg, industrial accident, snake bite, etc when the ER room is full of tick patients. My what a soft country we have become.
