Bug Bite Thing

?? Dear Lyme Warriors, We NEED YOUR HELP…. After we entered the tick space with our new tick remover tool, we weren’t prepared for the number of people who reached out to us asking for help and guidance around the topic of Lyme disease, education, and awareness. It was evident there was a real lack of viable resources that weren't tarnished with misinformation and individuals taking advantage of others; even our own community didn’t know where to turn or who to trust. As part of our commitment to sharing only factual, transparent, and accurate information directly from world-leading experts on the front line through our Guardians Against Ticks Initiative, we are now summoning our own community and beyond to help give back in a creative and free way. Global Lyme Alliance offers a free mentor/mentee program that is an incredible resource for helping people or their loved ones who are dealing with Lyme disease. What we are looking for: 1) Men or women who have been through their own personal Lyme journey and would be willing to participate in the Global Lyme Alliance's Mentor/Mentee program to be strategically paired with someone who needs support. (This is a free program) (*Mentors who are men are desperately needed, as there is a group of male mentees already looking for support.) 2) Anyone who is going through their own Lyme disease journey and is looking for free resources or support. If this sounds like you, please click here https://rb.gy/9jnu64 to sign up as a mentor, and you will be connected with the Global Lyme Alliance for the next steps. The only way to make change is to band together, keep everything transparent, and help each other where we can. ?? #BugBiteThing #GlobalLymeAlliance #PeerMentor #LymeDiseaseSupport #TickBorneIllness #CommunitySupport #GuardiansAgainstTicks #LymeStrong #TogetherWeHeal
