Schumer stood at a Long Island home in the midst of Fall yard work, while armed with a just-out report on tick-borne disease—a first-ever roadmap to beat it back—U..S. Senator Charles Schumer will unveil and point to its findings while urging the feds, specifically, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), to chart a 2019 battle plan to combat the long-fought and year-round tick war on Long Island. Schumer will reiterate that when it comes to the scourge of ticks across the country and in New York, Long Island is at the epicenter of the plight. Schumer will stand at a LI home with neighbors and medical professionals who are both worried about and treat tick-borne diseases year-round. Experts will explain why it is so critical for the feds to do all they can to perfect rapid testing, develop a vaccine for Lyme, and invest robust federal funds into prevention efforts, as well. Schumer will say this brand new report—which took 2 years to complete—lays out a path to victory in the war on ticks across Long Island, but that the feds have to focus and follow through as the New Year approaches. </span></p>"}}
