Lyme Disease: Facts and Myths
Dr. John J. Halperin
What exactly is Lyme Disease, and how is it transmitted? Are you and your pets at risk for tick bites? Do you know how to protect your family and what to do if you do find a tick? (hint: a hot match may NOT be the answer!)
Of interest to health professionals, researchers, veterinarians, public health officials, and the general public. Mark your calendars now!
Dr. Halperin will explain how the organism that causes Lyme Disease came to the United States and how the disease is spread through ticks and their life cycle. He will also provide practical information on how to prevent tick bites, what to do if bitten and how health professionals diagnose the disease.

WHO ARE THE FRIENDS?
The Friends of the Health Sciences Library, founded in 1975, support the collections and services of HSL, with a primary focus on the History of Medicine Collection. The supported programs include the Health Sciences Art and Media Group art initiative and the Buffalo Medical Journal database indexing project, as well as our annual meeting and lecture events.
Our annual meeting features the C.K. Huang Memorial Lecture, named for one of HSL's former directors. For example, in 2005 Dr. Edward Fine and Dr. Arie Weinstock of UB's Department of Neurology presented a wonderful program on past and current methods of treating epilepsy. In addition to the presentations, the evening always includes food, drink, and great company.
Print out our membership form and send it along with your check or credit card information to the address indicated. Or, better yet, stop and visit History and get acquainted with our collection!
