Lyme Disease
Hosted by ABC7's Cheryl Jennings
Each Beyond the Headlines show focuses on a different topic affecting the people who make up the fabric of the Bay Area. What do you know about the disease that you could get from a tick bite? It's called Lyme Disease.
At first, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control only reported about 30,000 cases a year. But, new studies reveal the numbers could be far higher... as many as 300,000 a year. Now, the CDC estimates that number could be as high as a million cases a year!
