A celebrity case of Lyme disease

A celebrity case of Lyme disease (https://lnkd.in/ey2TZtt) will certainly raise public awareness of Lyme disease across the British Isles. Vets and nurses should be prepared to field questions on the risk to clients and their dogs. Although this is a case from the US, the incidence of UK Lyme disease in the human population is rising year on year. Dogs are also being exposed to Borrelia burgdorferi infection so it's important clients are given the correct advise to keep themselves and their pets safe.
