For the Public 
 “What Everyone Should Know About Lyme Disease” provides a general overview of Lyme disease and its related topics. To inform more of the public, ask your local cable public access station to play the DVD "What Everybody Should Know About Lyme Disease" as part of their programming. Let them know Lyme is a big problem in your area. Most of these stations are starved for programming and they have (Dr. Elizabeth Maloney’s) permission to play it, unaltered, as often as they like. If they agree, (our) group could give them a copy. If they have more questions they can contact (Dr. Elizabeth Maloney) via this email address md@phhmd.com

 For Libraries around the State 

Lessons in Lyme is an educational series on Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses. Each segment reviews a different topic in detail. Written by Dr. Elizabeth Maloney, the series discusses basic scientific concepts in everyday language, giving viewers an opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of Lyme disease. Individual segments are complete on their own. Combining segments allows viewers to apply the knowledge gained from one topic to others. Doing this leads to a greater understanding of individual topics and a fuller view of Lyme disease.
