In 2011, 96 percent of all Lyme Disease cases were reported from 13 states, including Virginia. Lyme Disease is caused by the bacterium transmitted to humans through the bite of infected ticks. If left untreated, infection can spread to the joints, the heart and nervous system. Join Dr. Jose Munoz, from the Division of Infectious Diseases, who will discuss steps to prevent Lyme Disease and the signs, symptoms and treatment options of the tick-borne illness.
