League of Women Voters sponsors important program on Lyme disease

Wayland Town Crier 3/11/10: League of Women Voters sponsors important program on Lyme disease. The Weston League of Women Voters sponsored an in-depth program on the topic of Lyme disease on March 2. A concerned audience of about 50 people heard three professionals with very different viewpoints about the tick-born disease and its affect on residents of all ages. Many questions revealed the high level of alert in the community and a growing consciousness of the problems associated with undiagnosed and untreated Lyme. Conceived by Dr. Barbara Fullerton of Weston, the evening was organized around the personal stories of Constance Bean, Wayland author of the book "Beating Lyme," Dr. Corinne Ertel, a Weston pediatric physician, and Kurt Upham, owner of a landscaping company called Oh Deer.
