This week we are still working on the bacteria slide and wanted poster.  I just finished both so I’ll tell you more about Lyme disease.  It is not 100 percent sure where it came from but one theory is that it came from the animal disease center in Connecticut eight miles away form the city of Lyme.  The infected ticks escaped and they spread the disease very quickly.   Here is a microscopic picture of Lyme disease.  The ticks are most commonly deer ticks and though not all of them are infected a huge percent are.  Here is how big a deer tick is: A good word of advice is that after you go hiking check yourself to see if you have any ticks on yourself.
