Description
Lyme: The First Epidemic of Climate Change by Mary Beth Pfeiffer is a compelling account of a modern scourge. The disease is spreading rapidly around the globe, infecting millions each year, and its impact is being felt in many countries. Mary Beth Pfeiffer examines how human activities have contributed to this growing menace and how modern medicine has underestimated its danger. Pfeiffer shares heart-rending stories of families affected by Lyme disease, as well as warnings about emerging tick-borne illnesses that make treatment more challenging. This impeccably researched book makes a powerful case for action to fight ticks and protect public health.
