☀️Sending your child to camp this summer?

Children between the ages of 5 and 14 have a heightened risk of contracting Lyme disease in the first place. So, summer camp can be a dangerous setting, particularly without parents present to nag their children about tick safety.

Fortunately, with a little preparation, parents can help their children have a good time while staying safe from tick bites.

Here are a few simple guidelines to help prevent Lyme disease from ruining your child’s summer.

From Amy Kurtz: Four years ago, I was sitting in the exam room of my 36th doctor. I was waiting for test results, bracing myself for another round of heartbreak and disappointment.

For decades, I’d dealt with so much pain and discomfort in my body, so many inconclusive procedures and tests, and so many missed life experiences. I didn’t have much reason to believe that this time would be any different.

But I was proven wrong.

“I am very clear about what you have,” my doctor told me. “You have late-stage neurological Lyme disease and two co-infections.”

That began my journey to real healing. I felt so much better in every way, and yet, I was still struggling in a way I couldn’t yet explain.

That is why I decided to write my second book, ‘But You Look Fine.’ It is my mission to help people with invisible illnesses feel less alone and to break the silence on this crucial, painful, and pervasive part of healing out of the shadows and into the light.
