Lyme Disease: Ticked Off Music Fest & High Incidence of Lyme in Martyland

August 27, 2014 – Segment 4

Last week the Baltimore Sun reported that Maryland has one of the highest incidences of Lyme Disease in the U.S. To discuss the disease and efforts to prevent and treat it, we talk with: Gregg Kirk, founder of the Ticked Off Music Fest, lead singer/songwriter for the band The Zen Engines and former publisher of the Philadelphia/Delaware-based publication Big Shout Magazine, and a sufferer of chronic Lyme Disease for almost a decade; and Dr. Katherine Feldman, Maryland state public health veterinarian and chief of the state’s Center for Zoonotic and Vector-Borne Disease.

The Ticked Off Music Fest will be happening Thursday August 28th in Annapolis.
