Lyme disease is the most common vector-borne illness in the United States. There are over 300,000 new cases of Lyme disease diagnosed each year. While researchers and physicians work tirelessly at developing better testing and treatments, the numbers of new cases continue to rise. In order to change the tide, radical education on the prevention of Lyme disease is critical. Dr. Alexis Chesney, a Lyme and tick-borne disease (TBD) specialist, has created a concise guide with practical preventative strategies that everyone - from the weekend outdoor enthusiast to the daily farmer - can use. There are many steps that can be taken to prevent Lyme and TBD - from managing the tick population in your yard and preventing ticks from getting on your person, to treating tick bites promptly and properly if and when they happen. Gleaned from her years of clinical work, Dr. Chesney provides proven, user-friendly strategies for tick identification, tick control, tick bite prevention, and tick bite management and treatment. These practical tools can empower each of us to stop the spread of Lyme and TBD one person at a time.

Lyme Disease can be prevented with information and awareness.

Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2018

Verified Purchase

This book is filled with detailed information to help all of us prevent contracting tick-borne disease. I personally utilize the services of "Insect Shield" technology (at insectshield.com) for treating my clothes and the "Sorresto" collar on my dog. These strategies have made it possible for me to enjoy the outdoors with my dog and remain tick free for over 3 years.

I have also used Dr. Chesney's advice in the book about treating acute tick bites with herbs and homeopathic remedies by putting together a first aid kit, just in case. I have had occasion to use my kit for family members that come to visit Vermont.

The book can get a little technical at times, but the constructive suggestions for staying healthy are worth the effort of working through the challenging parts. It is worth the effort to feel relaxed and enjoy the pleasure of being outdoors without worry... again.

Disclosure: I am a co-worker of Dr. Chesney, and have the privilege of watching her clients recover from Lyme and other tick-borne disease. She is a skilled practitioner, but still prefers prevention over treatment, as treatment can be lengthy and expensive.

Comprehensive and simple naturopathic advice.

Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2018

Dr. Chesney has done us all a great service with this accessible and informative book! It's one of the few out there that is comprehensive in it's scope without being overwhelming. It also has a refreshingly naturopathic perspective that includes the effective use of herbs—for both before and after a tick bite as well as for an active infection. It dispenses with the Lyme myths that have ingrained themselves in some doctors and focuses on research and clinical pearls that support your immune system as well as inhibit infection growth. Dr. Chesney also has great chapters on effective prevention (tick tubes!) and co-infections, among other things.

This is the BEST book ever

I am a forester, and living in one of the most densely population of ticks. I am CONSTANTLY asked what to do to prevent yourself from getting ticks. This is the BEST book ever. It is comprehensive and middle of the road approach. To bad, it isn't available for those who don't use technology. But if you don't have the iphone, or ipad or andriod, go to the library!!!!!!!!!!!

All you ever need to know about tick bite prevention!

Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2018

Verified Purchase

Very easy read. I completely agree with previous reviews. Although the purpose of this book is Lyme prevention, there is info to get you started treating Lyme while waiting to connect with a Lyme literate health care provider. A “must read”for all living in or visiting the Northeast!

An essential book about tick bite and Lyme disease prevention for anyone who spends time outdoors

Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2018

This book is a great resource for anyone who lives in the northeast and spends time outdoors. The author offers excellent advice on what you can do to avoid tick bites, as well as what you should do if you think you might have Lyme disease. Additionally, there is a very useful reference section at the end. I am definitely going to recommend this book to family and friends.
