Massachusetts Lyme Disease Awareness prevention education in our schools preschool, Elementary, Middle, and high school.

Created by L.L. on June 14, 2016

We need to teach our children about Lyme Disease with an Epidemic of 350,000 stated by the CDC bigger than Aids, Zika, West Nile virus combined. Our children do not even know what a tick is and neither do many of their parents. They don't know the dangers of contracting Lyme Disease and it being left undiagnosed, and untreated making it a hard to cure serious illness that can kill. Our children are at the highest risk of contracting Lyme Disease. We need to educate them and their parents as many may be bitten and not tell their parents not knowing.they even have a tick attachment. Please help mske this s reality. Massachusetts has one of the highest rates of Luck disease in the United States with Cape Cod and the islands one of the highest rates worldwide. Nantucket MA residents %40
