Lyme: The First Epidemic of Climate Change examines how warming climates and shifting ecosystems are allowing ticks to colonize new regions and spread Lyme disease worldwide. The book cites global trends—half a million infections in the US and Europe each year—and places those numbers in a broader environmental and public-health context.

Through investigative reporting and patient narratives, the author traces how human activity and ecological change have amplified risk, and shares the real-life consequences for families, children, and individuals who face long-term illness.

The account also highlights emerging tick-borne co-infections that complicate diagnosis and care, and argues for coordinated action: better surveillance, tick control, clinical awareness, and policy responses.
