Living with Lyme Disease

Erin grew up in Norfolk County, and playing in the fields she was exposed to ticks and developed a range of symptoms that went undiagnosed as Lyme Disease for many years.  Doctors were unable/unwilling to accept that the symptoms were Lyme Disease.  She has since become an advocate for testing and getting the disease recognized in Canada.  The disease is not recognized by Health Canada and the lack of recognition makes data collection and treatment difficult.  Climate change has expanded the range of ticks which allows the tick population to thrive and more northward in Canada.
