The growing threat of Lyme disease will be the subject of an informational event at Rice Creek Field Station on Saturday, April 6, 2019, 2:00 o'clock. The featured speaker will be Mary Beth Pfeiffer, an investigative journalist and author of a new book on the tick-borne illness. In her book, Lyme: The First Epidemic of Climate Change, Pfeiffer documents the spread of Lyme disease around the globe as ticks move to places they could not survive before. The disease infects half a million people in the US and Europe each year and thousands in many other countries. Pfeiffer will discuss how modern medicine has underestimated the epidemic’s danger by framing Lyme disease, mistakenly, as easy to diagnose and straightforward to treat. Pfeiffer's reporting, which is based on scores of interviews and a review of more than 300 scientific papers, won her the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi award, among seven honors for her articles on Lyme disease.
