CALIFORNIA: Yet another example of how tick-borne diseases can wipe out those affected both physically and financially.

"A Southern California woman transformed from the picture of a health to someone able to squeeze just a few “good hours” out of a day after being diagnosed with Lyme disease, a painful illness that has wiped out of her savings."

"Renee Avis, 44, believes she was bitten by an infected tick while camping in the High Sierra in 2008. For years, she suffered unexplained fevers, joint and nerve pain."
