### This brief animated video shows how easy it is for anyone to get a tick bite, yet how difficult it can be to get an early, accurate diagnosis of Lyme disease.

 

You will also see the profound impact Lyme disease can have on children, who are the most at risk for contracting this often debilitating disease. Symptoms may include fatigue, anxiety, severe headaches, joint pain, fever and school avoidance.

*This video premiered at the 2017 Global Lyme Alliance New York Gala on October 11, 2017.*
