  • Lyme disease is the most common infection following an insect bite in the US: the Centers for Disease Control estimates that 300,000 Americans contract Lyme disease each year, calling it "a major US public health problem." While it is easy enough to treat if caught early, people are still getting to grips with lifelong health problems that can stem from not catching it in time. Here, Whyte discusses how to prevent and treat the Lyme disease.
