Lyme Disease Prevention and Infection

Event Dates

  • Monday, 04/23/2018 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm

Event Description

The State of Wisconsin is in the top 5 most infected states with Lyme Disease.  Half of all ticks in endemic areas carry Lyme Disease.  Lately, every year seems like a “bad tick year”.  How do we prevent our families and pets from getting an infection?  Prevention is key!  When there is a tick bite what should we do?  How can you find out if you have a Lyme Infection?  Most tick-borne infections are difficult to test for and produce mostly false negatives. 

Join us for an exploration of Lyme Disease, tick-borne infections, how to prevent these infections and what to do if you get an infection.  According to the CDC, this is reaching epidemic levels with more than 25,000 new reported cases of disease every month!

This educational session is being led by Jean Schneider, a Clinical Herbalist with an herbal practice just outside of Madison WI.  She started Nativa Medica to help people suffering from acute and chronic health imbalances.  Jean uses a wide range of knowledge and techniques to address imbalances in all three parts of our beings; physical, emotional and spiritual.
