A recent CDC report reveals that Lyme disease cases increased by 69% in 2022 compared to previous years. Lyme disease remains a significant public health challenge, with no current vaccine available, limited accuracy with conventional testing, and 10-20% of those treated for Lyme disease experiencing chronic symptoms. This course aims to bridge the knowledge gap, offering valuable insights crucial for individuals and healthcare providers alike.
Course Highlights:
– In-depth exploration of ticks from across the globe
– Detailed information on the signs and symptoms of the diseases carried by these ticks
– Practical and effective prevention techniques
– What to do if you get a tick bite
– Comprehensive acute treatment strategies for those affected by tick-borne diseases
To celebrate the launch, Dr. Chesney is offering free access to the subchapter “Ticks from Around the Globe: Introduction and North American Ticks.” This section provides a foundational understanding of the subject matter and sets the stage for the comprehensive content that follows. This self-paced course is designed to provide thorough and accessible information that can be applied in everyday life, and includes over 200 journal article references to enhance the education of healthcare professionals.
“I’ve watched my patients get their lives back after Lyme diseaes treatment, only to see them return with a new tick bite or new tick-borne disease. As someone deeply committed to the prevention of Lyme disease, I’ve created this course to empower individuals with the knowledge they need to protect themselves and their loved ones. Prevention is key,” said Alexis Chesney.
