JOAN1A #1 / 2	Hispanic workers falling ill to Lyme disease, Greenwich [CT] Time, 19 I think about this often. Every landscaper I know has serious health problems from Cancer, anyerisms(sp.?),hearts problems arhtritis,you name it. Ask your landscaper, and chances are every one of them will tell you they pull ticks off of them all of the time, and/or that they have " had" Lyme in the past. Many of them rest during the lunch hour in the shade, on the grass in the hot summer underneath a tree, and have no idea how serious a tick bite can be. And yes, if they dont speak English, it is hard to communicate. There is an entire population out there we are missing to educate.
