Lyme Disease—Getting Through the Tick of It is updated and presented once a year at the North York campus.

Lyme disease is one of the most rapidly reported insect-borne diseases in North America. Over 700 cases of Lyme disease was reported in 2015 to the Public health Agency of Canada vs 130 in 2009.  The growing increase in infection numbers and complexity of the disease has many health practitioners confused and continually searching for new insight to the treatment of the condition. The goal of the night is to deconstruct some of the complexities, remove the fear of treating Lyme disease, understand treatment options available for referral and finally how nutritionist can provide specific support during the entire process.
