Do you know about this? Lyme Disease ….
by Greta Van Susteren
Here is a video you might want to watch — a very serious medical problem that we should know about. Lyme disease is one of those horrible diseases that people only learn about AFTER they get it or someone they love gets it. It would be smart of all of us to know about it BEFORE since it afflicts many and we should do what we can to prevent it…check this trailer out for a documentary on Lyme disease. I am fortunate to have the documentary in my laptop and I have been watching it on airplanes (I don’t have much free time these days!) Watch and post your comment:
