My family faced a tragedy, and the information that I learned needs to be brought to the public's attention.

In June, my 19-year-old daughter had a seizure that killed her. She was having seizures for a few months and was being treated for them. However, toxicology tests revealed that she had Lyme disease, which can cause deadly seizures. We did not know that, and she regularly went hiking.

The public must be made aware that Lyme disease can cause seizures. If it is properly treated, a person can be restored to good health.
