In 1988 when the LDF first started, my wife Karen walked the halls of Congress looking for help. Senator Lieberman was the only one who said he would help and actually followed through on his promise. His support has been instrumental in moving awareness and research forward. His unique combination of commitment and compassion are an inspiration to all Lyme disease patients. The conference is intended for physicians, dentists, veterinarians, pharmacists, nurses and other health care professionals to update them on the diagnosis and treatment of Lyme disease.
Faculty represent a broad range of medical specialties and viewpoints.
Open to all. Free educational brochures. Cosponsored by California Department of Health Services and County of Marin, Department of Health and Human Services. In the UK, cases of Lyme disease have only been reported from rural areas. Recently, however, Ixodes ticks infected with Borrelia burgdorferi have been found in London parks.
