Because of this rising trend, Schumer said now is the time for the federal government to get more involved in helping stop the problem of tick-borne illness. Currently, Lyme disease is one of the least understood illnesses, yet it affects more and more residents in Ontario and Monroe Counties each year. With this emerging threat of new tick-borne illnesses, like anaplasmosis, babesiosis, B. miyamotoi disease (BMD) and antibiotic resistant strains of Lyme, Schumer said the need for increased prevention, education, treatment, and research activities is clear and compelling. As a result, Schumer is introducing legislation that would boost the federal government’s ability to research, identify and treat the disease as well as launch a national response to significantly enhance the Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) ability to stop the spread of Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses</span></p>"}}
