We’re thrilled to announce that Illinois Lyme Association (ILA) has been featured on the website the MarketMaker, an online publication aimed at bridging the gap between farmers, consumers, buyers, and sellers through the use of their interactive database. This opportunity allowed us to shed light on the unseen dangers of of tick-borne diseases and their physical and financial impact on individuals working in the meat processing industry. As an organization dedicated to raising awareness, providing support, and advocating for those affected by Lyme disease and other tick-borne diseases, we’re grateful for this platform to further our reach.

On MarketMaker, we highlighted Lyme disease, Anaplasmosis, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and alpha-gal as potential risks for meat processors. We also emphasized the importance of taking preventative measures and seeking prompt medical care. By sharing this information, we hope to underscore just how important it is to remain vigilant for ticks to provide a safer working environment for all. Check us out on MarketMaker here.
