This documentary is a compelling story about people affected by Lyme Disease in Ireland which can be transmitted by a bite of a tick. It is an awareness campaign around the disease which can affect everyone from small children running around a field with tall grass to wildlife wardens, campers, zoologists and biologists to people working in the wild and even strolling in the park. It is very difficult to get a categorical diagnosis for Lyme Disease in Ireland which in some cases has tell-tale signs of a bullseye rash with symptoms of stiffness and immobility developing over time. The earlier it is diagnosed, the quicker the chance of treatment and recovery.
