The 3,300-year-old European mummy known as ร–tzi tested positive for Lyme disease, according to research from the University of Toronto. This ancient illness has been affecting humans since the Bronze Age. Lyme disease isnโ€™t new,but awareness, early detection, & prevention is so important.

Tick bites donโ€™t always look the same.

Did you know? A bullโ€™s-eye rash is just one of many possible reactions to a tick bite. You might see solid spreading rashes, ulcers, or even spotted rashes.

Stay alert. Know what to look for and track any symptoms early.
