Lyme disease (Lyme borreliosis) caused by bacteria of the Borrelia type isn't unique to the United States. In North America, Borrelia burgdorferi and Borrelia mayonii are the cause and is estimated to affect 300,000 people a year. In Europe and Asia, the bacteria Borrelia afzelii and Borrelia garinii are also causes of the infectious disease and have affected 65,000 people. Lyme disease does not appear to be transmissible by certain geological groups of people, or between particular people, or wild animals, or even through food. Diagnosis is based upon a combination of symptoms, history of tick exposure, and possibly testing for specific antibodies in the blood. Unfortunately blood tests are often negative especially in the early stages of concern. Prevention includes wearing long pants and applying "DEET" especially when walking through wetland areas, landscapes with an abundance of tail brush, or playing with pets that have previously run free. Infections are most common from spring to early summer and in damp surroundings.

Today is Mother's Day, a day we have the privilege to publically recognize and thank our mothers for all they have done for us. Mothers come in all shapes and sizes. They may be adoptive mothers, biological mothers, a kindly next-door neighbor who we have grown to love as a mother; they are mothers. They selflessly and tirelessly work for their children's well-beings. Our mothers are our chauffeurs, private chefs, our housekeepers, our best friends, our biggest fans and greatest source of comfort. Our mothers are our unsung heroes.
This Mother's Day, take time to thank Mom - hug her, cook her dinner, take her out on the town. Show Mom how much she means to you and how much you appreciate all she does for you. A publication of Golden Horizons Elder Care Services, Inc. Message from the GH Office TeamSpeaking of thankfulness...In 1999, Congress designated May as Military Appreciation Month to ensure the opportunity for our nation to publically honor our active military members and our veterans for all their service and sacrifice. Those of us in the GH office come from families with strong ties to our military. We value our men and women in uniform, our veterans and those who have died in defense of our freedoms. Remember to thank them this month. ~ Golden Horizons Office Team Nameless has a Name!Patrick is 3rd. Those who submitted these names will be contacted with their prizes. Thank you all for helping us make him happy!
