Description
Review
“As Pfeiffer’s hard-hitting study reminds us, non-specific symptoms and other complexities make tackling Lyme a formidable challenge…She nimbly interweaves numerous strands of research—into the influence of climate change on the Lyme invasion, the disease, the pathogen, the vectors and the harrowing impacts borne by some sufferers.”
(Nature)
“Powerful.”
(Slate)
“Heart-wrenching…After you read Lyme, the standard advice of ‘do your due diligence, check for ticks, stay aware’ won’t seem adequate…Pfeiffer has delivered a powerful wake-up call.”
(Sierra)
“Superbly written and researched, Pfeiffer’s work should go a long way toward convincing the public to take this modern-day scourge more seriously.”
(Booklist)
“In page after page of data and interviews with patients, advocates, and researchers around the world, Pfeiffer builds a strong case…the basic facts she sets forth are credible, and they deserve immediate attention.”
(Kirkus)
“A work of both breadth and depth, impressively documented and often elegant.”
(MinnPost)
“Engrossing.”
(Moms Clean Air Force)
“A highly enjoyable, illuminating and informative read…I enjoyed this book so much that when I finished it…I went right back to the start to reread it.”
(Lyme Disease UK)
“Engrossing…Pfeiffer makes a compelling argument that Lyme is expanding because of human influences on the environment, from warming temperatures to killing deer..this issue is important, urgent, and needs more advocates.”
(Massive Science)
“Throws new light on one more danger caused by climate change. Pfeiffer points out the importance not only of combating ticks but also the need for doctors to respond quickly and provide appropriate treatment. A stark warning that Lyme is but the tip of the iceberg.”
(Jane Goodall, founder of the Jane Goodall Institute and UN Messenger of Peace)
