Lyme Disease Awareness

Originally posted on May 23, 2009

Hi all,

My fellow designer at KJOI, Amberbaz wanted to do a Lyme Disease Awareness kit and I decided to join her, as well as several others. When my 2nd oldest son, now 15, was probably bitten by a tick in 2003.  For many years afterwards, we made many trips back and forth to the ER - when he would have huge swelling and rashes.  Thankfully it has now been a long time, some of this is due to him getting antibiotics within 6 weeks of getting bitten.... 

Lyme's Disease Facts...

• About 20,000 people are infected each year in the US.


•  One of the primary symptoms is often a rash that can be pink in the
  center and a deeper red on the surrounding skin, but can vary in
  appearance.
  


• Can have a rash.


• Can have flu-like symptoms.


• Symptoms of LD may resemble other conditions or medical problems.

Here is my freebie for this event....
