What do you actually know about Lyme Disease? Yes, it comes from a tick bite. Yes, it can make you very ill. And yes, it's a long-term chronic illness that can be extremely debilitating.

Jean Marie Hatton joins us on this episode to talk about her experience with Lyme and how it has impacted her life. We learn about how easy it is to get, and how many times you can miss the signs (hint: only a small percentage of people get the tell-tale rash from the tick bite).

So sit back and enjoy the episode. You'll feel more knowledgeable afterward (and maybe check yourself more often for ticks...).
