Lyme Disease: A Physician's Perspective Lyme disease is a deer tick (Ixodes Scapularis) transmitted bacterial infection with potentially serious complications. Making a diagnosis is not always easy because the presenting symptoms are non- specific and the “classic” rash does not always occur. The history of the disease, the progress made in understanding it's effects on the infected person, the diagnosis, the treatment and the methods of prevention will be presented. Larry Severeid is a retired physician who practiced Otolaryngology for 28 years at the Gundersen Clinic in La Crosse, Wisconsin . He has been planting deciduous trees in the Coulee region for the past 35 years, and his primary interest has been propagating black walnut, oak, butternut and American chestnut trees. Larry is partnering with the U. S. Forest Service in establishing an orchard of grafted butternut seedlings from trees that have demonstrated potential blight resistance to the butternut blight. He has been an active member of the National Walnut Council and the American Chestnut Foundation, and is on the Advisory Committee of the Hardwood Tree Improvement and Regeneration Center at Purdue University.
