Tick and Vector Borne Diseases
Symptoms, Diagnosis & Treatment Information
Lyme and tick borne diseases can be a minor inconvenience or a life time struggle. Treating aggressively and quickly can help make the difference in the final outcome.

If you suspect you've been exposed to ticks or other disease carrying vectors, please contact your health care professional and be properly treated- do not delay! It may help to take information from this site to your appointment with you because we want you to...

TREATMENT GUIDELINES
We recommend Dr. Joseph Burrascao's Advanced Topic's in Lyme Disease. To date, it is the most accurate and widely used diagnostic and treatment protocol for people with acute and chronic Lyme and tick borne diseases.
