In this episode we share the powerful story of Lauren Jean- a tough, devoted hounds woman whose life was turned upside down by a single tick bite. After contracting Lyme disease, Lauren quickly developed severe symptoms, including neurological issues, heart complication, and P.O.T.S forcing her into a year long battle that drained her health, finances and strength. Through hospital visits, costly treatments, and constant setbacks, she continues caring for her 7 Bluetick hounds and her farm almost entirely on her own. We explore the science behind Lyme, why it's called "The Great Imitator" and the importance of prevention, tick-removal, and tick-testing services like TickCheck. This is a story of resilience, reality and the urgent need for better Lyme awareness and research.
