Presentation on Lyme Disease (Prevention and Treatment)

Please join us on Tuesday, April 4 in  the social room at Town Hall from 6:30-7:30 pm for a fascinating and educational presentation on Lyme disease by resident Angela Newnam. 

When enjoying our beautiful outdoor setting, we and our pets encounter ticks almost year-round.  Lyme disease is the fastest growing vector-borne illness (ticks, mosquitoes, etc.)  in the US.  Buncombe County is categorized by the CDC as “Endemic” for Lyme disease.  Our Town is proactively addressing this issue.

Join Angela Newnam and several other Biltmore Forest residents who have first-hand experience with Lyme Disease to hear their real and varying stories as part of this program to increase awareness of the disease, its symptoms, myths and misconceptions and most importantly prevention. Learn the steps that you can take to protect yourself, your pets and your yard as well as the measures planned by the Town of Biltmore Forest.
