MA student Jackie Flynn contracts Lyme Disease after she made a surprising discovery in her science fair project. She is the student who discovered in her prizewinning science project that blacklegged ticks, carriers of Lyme disease, were unable to last more than five minutes on a low heat cycle in a dryer. This attracted the attention of the CDC since this contrasted with their belief that clothing should be dried in high heat for an hour to make kill ticks.
