Description
If left untreated Lyme Disease can spread to joints, heart, and nervous system. This guidebook provides essential information on Lyme Disease, but also serves as a historical survey, by providing information on the controversies surrounding its causes, and first-person narratives by people coping with Lyme Disease. Patients, family members, or caregivers explain the condition from their own experience. The symptoms, causes, treatments, and potential cures are explained in detail. Essential to anyone trying to learn about diseases and conditions, the alternative treatments are explored. Each essay is carefully edited and presented with an introduction, so that they are accessible for student researchers and readers.
