May is Lyme Disease Awareness Month.
The weather is beautiful and it’s time to head out into the great outdoors for some fun and exercise, and Arlington has wonderful parks and trails to enjoy. But this is also the time of year that earth’s littlest creatures are stirring – bees, stink bugs, and ticks are busy at work.

So before you head out to play, here are some books to help you educate yourself and your family about ticks and Lyme Disease:

• Beating Lyme : Understanding and Treating this Complex and often Misdiagnosed Disease by Constance A. Bean with Lesley Ann Fein
• Everything you Need to Know about Lyme Disease and Other Tick-Borne Disorders by Karen Vanderhoof-Forschner
• Ticks : Digging for Blood by Barbara A. Somervill
• Ticks by Barbara Keevil Parker
