Petition Action

I would like the UK Government to take Lyme's disease seriously.

Petition Details

I would like the UK Government and the National Health service to take Lyme's disease seriously, raise awareness of the risks and how and where it is caught, and better educate doctors in how to recognise the symptoms.

Additional Information

Lyme disease is a tick-borne, hard-to-diagnose illness named after the town of Lyme, where it was first identified in 1975. Early symptoms include an expanding red ring or rash that can appear around the tick bite, as well as flu-like symptoms such as fever, fatigue and muscle aches.

Subsequent symptoms that can develop if the disease is not promptly treated can include heart problems, arthritis and neurologic problems.
