Monica White, a Wildlife Biologist and the founder of the Colorado Tick Borne Disease Awareness Association, expounds on her personal encounter with Lyme disease. Suffering from debilitating illness, she spent seven and a half years struggling to obtain a diagnosis. Following this, she became resolute in her commitment to help provide resources that were previously unavailable to her, aimed at expediting the diagnosis process for others afflicted with tick-borne diseases and spreading awareness to those in Colorado.

Thanks for sharing your story …You could fill a state with what the CDC doesn’t know or doesn’t want to know about Tick borne diseases… I live in Virginia and Lyme is endemic and highly pathogenic in our area ..we also have AGP&Rocky Mountain spotted fever in our county..

Lyme disease can also be picked up in streams usually from rats which constantly pee in the water.

I worked in Dunes National Lakeshore for 22 years. Retired January 2023. I've probably had between a dozen and two dozen ticks on me over that time. A number them embedded. One my wife found on my back was embedded and dead. The last year or so, I have skin rashes, bad body aches and pains in joints and muscles. Swelling in knees and ankles. Hand, wrist, finger and arm pain. My doctor says, its just arthritis.
