Take A Bite Out Of Lyme!

11043038_10204045806641776_8677675506919551797_n

The Take A Bite Out Of Lyme Challenge has gotten off to a great start! It’s so simple, anyone can participate!

Here’s how to help spread awareness about Lyme Disease.

Follow the three easy steps below and donate $10 to ILADS. Prefer not to take the bite? That’s okay too! Donate $100 to ILADS instead. All donations accepted here.

1. TAKE A BITE: Bite a lime and TAKE A PHOTO OR A  SHORT VIDEO of the act – the more sourpuss your face, the better (and funnier!).

2. SHARE A FACT: State ONE BRIEF FACT ABOUT LYME DISEASE, such as the facts provided below. You can say them in your video, write them on your photo, or include them in your post. Help spread the TRUE facts about Lyme Disease!

3. PASS IT ON: Keep the campaign going — CHALLENGE THREE OTHER PEOPLE – your friends, family, whomever! – to take a bite! Mention them in your video or if you do a photo tag them in your post.

Here the video of me taking a bite out of a lime!


 

Now it’s your turn! In addition to those I challenged in the video, I encourage anyone reading this post to take a bite too! Help bring more awareness about Lyme Disease!

Cosmo Mom’s Lyme Story

One neat thing about starting a blog is I’ve been introduced to some new, and informative blogs. I found Brandi’s blog, Cosmo Mom with a Twist of Lyme shortly after I starting blogging. Her Lyme story highlights how much “Lyme denial” exists in the medical field. It’s disturbing that she knew she had been bitten, and still had several doctors tell her she couldn’t possibly have Lyme Disease.

She was diagnosed in 2011 and continues to be treated for Lyme and co-infections. Her blog has lots of information about Lyme Disease, and great stories about her family. She recently wrote about running her first 5K! I would appreciate if you took the time to read her story, and her blog.
