SUMMARY:Tick boom: A physician's forecast for summer '22
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, June 8\, noon ET \nTicks have proliferated – caused by the combination of overbuilding in previously forested areas\, climate change and international trade. \nWe all know about the tick-borne disease – Lyme – which can cause debilitating nerve and other damage\, but what are the new and emerging tick-borne diseases and where are they emerging? What does that mean for communities? What should reporters be writing about right now and what are the under covered stories related to tick-borne diseases? When will there be a vaccine for Lyme? What about the latest treatments and how can communities and individuals prevent getting bitten? \nA long-time tick expert\, physician and former co-chair of a national working group on tick borne diseases that advises the federal government will provide some answers. Please send your questions to bara@healthjournalism.org. \nView the slides \nJohn Aucott \nBara Vaida \n  \nDr. John Aucott is an internist and Lyme disease expert in the Division of Rheumatology\, and is the director of the Johns Hopkins Lyme Disease Clinical Research Center.
