Lyme Disease Presentation
|
When: July 23 from
7:00 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.
Where: The Other Barn (5851 Robert Oliver Place) Please join Oakland Mills Community Association for a presentation on Lyme Disease. The numbers of those who have Lyme Disease are staggering and growing. It is fair to assume that everyone living in this area has a close family friend or relative living with Lyme Disease. This presentation will cover the basics and create an awareness of Lyme Disease.
Speakers include a representative from the Howard County Health Department and Mrs. Kandice Dickover, M.S. The Health Department will discuss prevention of tick-borne disease, creating a tick-safe zone through landscaping, tick removal and recognizing symptoms of Lyme disease.
Mrs. Dickover founded the Howard County Lyme Awareness Group three years ago after suffering from a debilitating mystery illness for 4.5 years before discovering that she had Lyme Disease. After educating herself about the disease, her two sons and husband were bitten by ticks during a scouting trip. Mrs. Dickover opens her home monthly to Lyme Support Group Meetings and holds free webinars and public education events.
This presentation is free and open to the public and will include time for Q & A. For more information contact Sandy Cederbaum, Oakland Mills Village Manager at [email protected] or call 410-730-4610.
