Author Mary Beth Pfeiffer will discuss Lyme Disease.
Lyme disease is spreading rapidly around the globe as ticks move into places they could not survive before. The first epidemic to emerge in the age of climate change, the disease infects half a million people around the world.

Learn how we have contributed to this growing menace, and how modern medicine has underestimated its danger.

Mary Beth Pfeiffer also warns of the emergence of other tick-borne illnesses that make Lyme more difficult to treat and pose their own grave risks.
