After I read an article in the newspaper today, I just had to respond and urge you to take precautions against Lyme disease which is transmitted by ticks.  You see,  my best friend in my 30’s  died from complications from this disease.  Dick loved the outdoors and had several dogs.  He was misdiagnosed and did not receive the proper treatment.  The article that I was referring to is about  Perry Fields, a former Clemson athlete who is fighting this disease.  She is doing much better now that doctors know what the problem is and she wants everyone to be careful and know what to look for and what the symptoms are.  There is a support group for Greenville and Spartanburg residents who would like to get more information…log onto greenvillelyme@bellsouth.net .   Stay safe and enjoy this great summer weather…….Lee
