Reviews
The book is both personal and scientific, immensely readable and well-illustrated... It has a permanent place on my bookshelf as a valuable resource. For the benefit of yourself, your family and your pets, I recommend it to anyone who enjoys the outdoors., Written to be thoroughly accessible to lay readers and health professionals alike, Lyme Disease, Ticks and You: A Guide to Navigating Tick Bites, Lyme Disease and Other Tick-Borne Infections lives up to its title as an invaluable reference and resource about Lyme disease and other tick-borne maladies... A "must-have" for anyone who lives in tick country or engages in activities like outdoors hiking that have risk of tick bites, and is a welcome addition to public library Health and Medicine collections., Readers who have heard of Lyme disease may be surprised to find that it is still largely underdiagnosed and undertreated due to an ongoing lack of information about the disease, making consumer knowledge about it even more essential, to augment physician approaches. From keeping a symptom diary and understanding habitats that encourage ticks to the biology of Lyme Disease and how it affects humans and animals alike, this is a primer that should be in every health collection -- especially rural libraries., In her important and much-needed guide, Ball covers the following topics (and more): what is Lyme disease, the biology of Lyme disease, how ticks feed and spread disease, tick habitat, reducing tick bites, checking for ticks, removing ticks, symptoms of Lyme disease, diagnosing Lyme disease and treating Lyme disease. With ticks and the diseases they bring becoming increasingly common, Lyme Disease, Ticks and You is an important read., With ticks and the diseases they bring becoming increasingly common, Lyme Disease, Ticks and You is an important read. Highly recommended!, An excellent overview for all aspects of Lyme Disease... This book serves as a really great crash course for anyone interested in many of the basics of Lyme Disease and ticks... I highly recommend this book to any naturalist, student, or person getting into the outdoors for work or pleasure who does not know much about Lyme Disease and staying safe while in tick country.

Synopsis
Lyme disease and other tick-borne diseases (OTBDs) are becoming more common in North America as the changing climate has pushed tick ranges northward. Yet Lyme disease is still notoriously underdiagnosed and undertreated because many doctors rely on diagnostic methods and criteria that do not consider the science of many with debilitating symptoms that make day-to-day tasks nearly impossible. Author Shelley Ball was one of those patients. Ball suddenly fell inexplicably ill in spring 2019 following years of feeling burnt out. After months of agonizing symptoms and being told by multiple doctors that she didn't have Lyme (despite her stacks of peer-reviewed research saying the contrary), she was eventually able to get a proper diagnosis and treatment for her Lyme disease and other tick-borne coinfections - though not without her fair share of obstacles. Lyme Disease, Ticks and You is a distillation of Ball's exhaustive research into Lyme and OTBDs and her experience of advocating for her own health. This essential guide clearly explains the complicated science of Lyme disease and why diagnosis and treatment can be so hard to access. Ball offers tips on how to prevent tick bites, recognize Lyme and OTBDs and get a diagnosis, while also sharing a wealth of resources that will empower Lyme sufferers to advocate for the help they deserve. Book jacket., "This is a modern roadmap for getting a correct diagnosis of Lyme Disease, building on lessons learned by generations of Lyme advocates. People suffering from 'long haul' symptoms due to other diseases will, unfortunately, recognize this medical and political landscape." -- Jim Wilson, President, Canadian Lyme Disease Foundation Lyme disease has been steadily on the rise since the 1990s, and the threat is expected to grow as warmer global temperatures potentially prolong the tick season. Recent estimates suggest that approximately 475,000 people may get Lyme disease each year in the United States (as noted on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website) and the Government of Canada reported 1,487 cases in 2018. Lyme, if not treated early, can develop into a debilitating disease, with symptoms that can be felt for months or even years. Lyme Disease, Ticks and You is an easy-to-follow and essential guide to understanding, detecting and treating Lyme and other tick-borne diseases. Dr. Shelley Ball, a trained freshwater insect ecologist, is a long-term Lyme sufferer who has been infected multiple times, including with various other tick-borne diseases. Drawing from years of experience advocating for her own health, Dr. Ball has gathered together the information and resources the reader needs to not only understand the science, prevent tick bites and recognize Lyme, but also get treatment for this complex and often misdiagnosed disease. Chapters include: Chapter 2: What You Need to Know about Ticks and Lyme Disease Chapter 3: A Brief Biology of Lyme Disease Chapter 4: How Can I Reduce the Risk of a Tick Bite? Chapter 5: What If I'm Bitten? Chapter 6: Treating Lyme and Co-Infections Lyme Disease, Ticks and You is capped off with an extensive list of references and resources that will further equip each reader with the information they need to deal with ticks, Lyme and other tick-borne diseases.

    Unfortunately I received a damaged book, the item and the package both were damaged and it was clearly evident its appearance that it happened during transit. The seller was very understanding and gave me a full refund for the damaged book, though it was no fault of their own. Other than the damage, the book was as described, the quality and condition aside from the damaged spot was like new. The cost of the book was reasonable. I would definitely purchase from the seller again.

    Arrived on time. Packaging was lacking, product damaged in two places during shipping due to inadequate padding within the packaging. I can live with it seeing as I don't want to hunt down and pay for another copy... Item was as described minus the damage to the spine of the book in one place from the thin plastic wrapping not providing any rigidity or padding. This is the first time I have encountered this problem with this Fantastic seller. Excellent value. Thank you
