Hidden in the Leaves, Part 1

Part 1 of Hidden in the Leaves. What do you see in your backyard? Beyond the green lawn...flowers and shrubs...children playing...Look harder! Still, you don't see them. They're there...in the tens, hundreds, maybe even thousands. But it only takes one. One infected tick can change your life. They're there, hidden in the leaves, waiting to latch on.

Hidden in the Leaves, directed by award-winning filmmaker Mary Healey Jamiel, is the story of University of Rhode Island entomologist Thomas Mather and his team's efforts to help people see the risks for serious tick-transmitted disease lurking in an increasing number of rural, suburban and even semi-urban landscapes in the eastern United States.

This 24 minute long documentary exposes the hidden dangers that ticks represent and spotlights strategies to avoid ticks and their diseases.

This is a fantastic educational series on Lyme disease! Good info on where the dangers lie and how to protect yourself. Learn before it's too late and you find out you will never get well again. Lyme and other tick borne diseases can and do kill, and certainly cause permanent damage.
