Lyme Disease, about ticks, tick bites and tick-bite diseases The Biosciences and Society Foundation has published the book 'Lyme Disease, about ticks, tick bites and tick-bite diseases' in collaboration with Lias publishers. Up to date knowledge In the book Lyme Disease the most current knowledge about the disease is collected.
Not only the medical aspects of the disease are discussed, but also the biological and ecological aspects of the tick and its hosts. Questions and answers The most common questions are answered, such as: how great is the risk of infection after a tick bite, what risks do you run without treatment, can you have had a tick bite without noticing it, how often does an infection turn into a chronic illness and what are the guidelines - and customised measures - in the treatment.
