About Lyme Disease
Lyme disease is the fastest growing vector-borne illness in the US, and ticks infected with the bacteria that causes Lyme disease have been found in 42 counties in California. Ticks in the Bay Area carry a larger diversity of bacteria than expected and tick-borne disease risk is higher in Redwood habitats than previously believed, according to a study funding by Bay Area Lyme Foundation. Bay Area Lyme Foundation, a leading national private funder of Lyme disease research, is committed to making Lyme disease easy to diagnose and simple to cure.
