Speaking Engagement Sunday, March 12th at 2:00pm on Lyme Disease

Please join us on Sunday, March 12th at 2:00pm for a speaking engagement 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. 

As part of our 100th Anniversary activities to improve health and wellness, Mayor Goosmann will be issuing a Lyme Proclamation as part of the program. 

Join us at 2 pm in the Social Room of Town Hall for this fascinating presentation.
