Society holds
Lyme disease
public forum

THE VANCOUVER B.C.
Lyme Borreliosis Society, a
registered charitable
organization, recently an-
nounced that the 47th In-
ternationai Northwestern
Conference on Diseases in
Nature Communicable to
Man will be held in Van-
couver from Sunday,
Aug.16 to Wednesday, Aug.
19.

The purpose of the Society,
which is a North Shore group, is
to offer support and education to
‘the public and health-care profes-
sionals about tick-related illnesses.

A free public forum on lyme
disease and other tick-borne
diseases is scheduled for Sunday,
Aug. 16 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the
University of British Columbia
Conference Centre, located at
5961 Student Union Blvd., Van-
couver. .

The panelists for the meeting
include Dr.
discoverer of the lyme bacteria,
and other distinguished scientists,
researchers and doctors who will
be making short presentations
followed by a question-and-answer
period.

Lyme. disease has been dubbed
the “great imitator’’and can mimic
various serious diseases.

The society’s president, Diane
Kindress, says: ‘‘There are many
serious . diseases transmitted by
ticks, but the one that has receiv-
ed the most recent coverage is
lyme disease. Lyme disease is a
reportable disease in 49 states in
the United States of America, in-
cluding Washington, Oregon and
California.**

Kindress says that the organiza-
tion, apart from offering support
and education services, has been
actively involved in collecting ticks
from all over British Columbia for
research purposes.

In_ addition, Kindress says the °

Organization has raised funding to
support the cuituring, isolation
and identification of bacteria.
“Our long-range goal is to raise
funds to support continued
research into tick-borne illnesses.
There are over 20 different species
of ticks in British Columbia that
need to be thoroughly studied.””

People who are interested in
fearning more about tick-trans-
mitted diseases, how to guard
against tick bites, or what to do if
bitten, are invited to attend the
meeting on Sunday, Aug. 16.

For more information call
Diane Kindress at 922-3704 or
John Fowle at 987-8343.
