During May I did a few things, I spoke to a few media outlets, and if you'd like to listen/read to any of it I have attached and linked them here. I am so grateful for the platforms given to me to help spread awareness about Lyme Disease, and get the message out about to stay protected when going outdoors. I can't emphasize enough how much I don't want to make these things about me, but about the message. I always loved the saying, "Turn a mess into a message," and that's all I hope to do.
I did a morning radio show (which is linked above in video form) and it was streamed on iHeartRadio via iHeartMedia, so thank you immensely to them for giving it a large reach because friends and family all over the country could tune in to listen to it, and that was incredible. The whole interview was about 25 mins long so I had to scale it down to 10 mins to link it (if you hear any sound breaks, that's why). If you know me, then you know I'm pretty shy by nature and I don't claim to be a great public speaker. But I gave it my best go :) I'm very appreciative for the opportunity, thank you to everyone who made it possible

Another thing I did was speak with The Daily Independent newspaper, and they blew me away when they put the story on Lyme Disease front and center in full color. I was utterly shocked, and humbled, and also very grateful for their kindness. If you'd like, you can read the interview HERE.
I spoke to a third publication, The Herald Dispatch, and they also did a feature piece on Lyme Disease and prevention. However as a quick side note, the article also spoke to an Infectious Disease Doctor who says the tick must be attached for 48 hours minimum to spread Lyme Disease, and this is FALSE. I have known countless individuals (easily over 40+ patients) who had ticks attached for as little as an hour or two and got Lyme or other tick borne illnesses. That's important to note, because some facts weren't quite right (It's Geranium oil, not Gardenia oil that repels ticks), but I am still very thankful that they chose to share about Lyme Disease. You can read that story HERE.
Thank you to everyone for your support, for reading, for educating, and for sharing this journey with me.
