The CDC is warning of a spike in tick-borne diseases nationwide. Here in Vermont, Lyme disease is a huge and growing problem, and increasingly, other tick-borne illnesses like anaplasmosis and Powassan virus are a threat as well.
We're talking with experts about some of the science behind the growing risk and what we might see in the future.
Joining us for the discussion are Bradley Tompkins, tick-borne disease program chief for the Vermont health department, and Bill Landesman, a professor of biology at Green Mountain College who studies ticks and the microbial ecology of tick-borne diseases.
