The threat of Lyme disease has kept many people from enjoying the outdoors. "Vermont Edition" looks at the diagnosis and treatment of this tick-borne illness.

You've been hearing more and more about Lyme disease over the last decade, and with good reason: the number of confirmed and probable cases of this tick-borne illness has risen dramatically since the early 1990s. Vermont Edition looks at how Lyme disease is treated and diagnosed today.
Joining us to look at the various aspects of Lyme disease is Dr. Jeff Parsonnet, an infectious disease specialist at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center and a professor of medicine at Dartmouth Geisel School of Medicine.

Broadcast live on Wednesday, July 31, 2019 at noon; rebroadcast at 7 p.m.
