Prevention is the best way to control Lyme disease, by dressing properly for the outdoors, checking skin afterward and quickly and carefully removing any ticks.
On this week's show, Dr. Caitlin Sgarlet and Dr. Jana Shaw explain how Lyme disease is usually treated successfully with a short course of antibiotics. They also tell how the disease is diagnosed, its typical symptoms and why they advise against the long-term use of antibiotics for Lyme disease patients with lingering problems.
Also on this week's show: the delicate operation to remove a tumor while preserving the adrenal gland.
Join us Sunday, January 31 at 6 a.m. and at 9 p.m. for HealthLink on Air.
