Lyme Disease Action exists to address the current lack of awareness of Lyme disease amongst the public, the medical profession and the Department of Health and its Agencies.
The Public is often unaware that ticks can carry disease. Patients may ignore a rash and being unaware of the significance of some symptoms, do not relate them to their GP. Thus easily diagnosed early Lyme disease can become very difficult-to-diagnose late and chronic Lyme disease.
