From COTBDAA:
This Forum is for EVERYONE! As ticks and tick-borne diseases continue to increase in both distribution and prevalence…more and more people and pets are being impacted by many debilitating and sometimes fatal diseases. Risk is higher for children, those that work or play in the outdoors, and those that travel to areas of the country where prevalence of many of these diseases is even greater. Colorado has a shortage of physicians experienced in diagnosing and treating many of these diseases, leaving Coloradans at even greater risk of serious illness.
This event is supported through an educational grant from the Lyme Disease Association, Inc. Donations to help defray the costs of the Forum will be accepted at the door or you may donate through the COTBDAA FB page, webpage or directly to our mailing address. As an all volunteer run 501(c)3 Non-profit, your support is greatly appreciated. Please visit us at www.coloradoticks.org for further details.
