Description
Chances are that you, or someone you know, has been diagnosed with Lyme or another tick-borne disease. Rebecca Young, RN, BSN, a member of the Medical Advisory Panel of Stony Brook Southampton Hospital’s Regional Tick-Borne Disease Resource Center and the registered nurse who manages their popular “help line,” will speak about the types of diseases that are carried by the different species of ticks found on Eastern Long Island, and the symptoms, diagnostic tests, and treatment options that are available. Tips on preventing tick bites will also be shared. Each attendee will receive a tick removal kit. There will be ample time for questions.
