Sure, you’re spraying on insect repellent when you’re going to be spending time outside, but are you reapplying it when it wears off? Are your outdoor workers?
Approximately 300,000 are diagnosed with Lyme disease each year, according to a newly released estimate by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The estimate is based on medical claim, a survey of clinical laboratories and a survey of the general public.
40,000 cases of lyme disease are documented in the US alone every year and health experts are predicting 2013 to be the worst year for lyme risk ever. Every day, millions of outdoor workers are exposed to insects that not only annoy, but can carry malaria, Lyme disease, dengue fever and other dangerous diseases.
