 - Lyme disease is caused by the bacterium *Borrelia burgdorferi*, which is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected black-legged ticks, commonly known as deer ticks.

- The most common symptoms of Lyme disease include fever, headache, fatigue, and a characteristic skin rash called erythema migrans, which often appears at the site of the tick bite.

- If not treated early, Lyme disease can spread to joints, the heart, and the nervous system, leading to more serious health problems such as joint pain, heart rhythm issues, and neurological symptoms.

- The disease is most commonly reported in the northeastern, mid-Atlantic, and north-central United States, but cases have been documented in many parts of the world.

- Lyme disease can be effectively treated with antibiotics, especially when diagnosed early. Preventative measures include using insect repellent, removing ticks promptly, and avoiding tick-infested areas.

10 Beautiful Minds 

on the Art of 

Growing Older

By Maria Popova

A great paradox of being alive in this civilization is that we have come to dread and devalue the triumph of having lived, forgetting that to grow old is not a punishment but a privilege

I have always regarded the president of the United States (no matter what party they represented) as a person with a strong sense of history. Their job almost demands it. They sit in an office in a building where those who came before them made decisions that changed (for better or worse) the course of history. At the very least, we could expect the person who holds the highest office in our land to learn from the mistakes and accomplishments of their predecessors and to take the proper course of action when they find themselves in sticky situations. But now we have a president who has no interest in learning anything from those who had been there and done that.

Between 2024 and 2048, approximately $124 trillion will be bequeathed from baby boomers and older generations to their heirs

Of that total, $54 trillion will go to surviving spouses.

Ninety-five percent of that amount will go to women, with older women set to be the largest beneficiaries, as their average life expectancy exceeds that of US men.

Some experts caution that if the spouse who handled the finances predeceases their partner, inheriting the money may be more fraught than comforting. In other words, if you think a banana costs $10, seek help now.
