Marie Félix will testify on Lyme disease on November 9 at Dialogues, in Morlaix

Saturday November 9, 2024, at 11 a.m., the Dialogues bookstore will welcome Marie Félix, author of a book in the form of a testimony and investigation on Lyme disease. In 1983, during a walk in the forest, she was bitten by a tick of the worst kind. It will only be in 2017 that a name will be given to the difficulties of his daily life. She contracted Lyme disease, the consequences of which are dramatic if not treated in time. A condition found in most regions and which can affect anyone who is connected to nature.

Repellent and long sleeves

In “remission for 5 five years”, she will discuss her difficult treatment journey and inform the public of the precautions to take. “Before leaving, we spray ourselves with repellent. The appropriate outfit is long pants slipped into socks, and long sleeves. Clothing must be light in color: this makes it easier to detect the presence of the tick during the self-inspection which must be carried out after the walk and the next day. If we find one, we disinfect it for five days.”
