Lyme Disease Prevention and Awareness
14 AUG 2012
Our mission is to provide Soldiers, Civilians and their Families with a
quality of life commensurate with the quality of their service.
FORT DRUM, NEW YORK
Fort Drum – The Army’s Best Kept Secret
Background
24
• Lyme Disease is an infection caused by
bacteria that is commonly transmitted by deer
ticks and mice (not all ticks carry the disease).
• The tick must be imbedded in the body for
several hours to transmit the disease.
• Lyme disease can affect animals, humans
and can be transmitted to fetus if mother is
infected.
• If left untreated, can cause serious long-term
issues.
• Currently no vaccination available for
humans; however, Lyme Disease can be treated
by antibiotics.
Female Deer Ticks
FORT DRUM, NEW YORK

• Red, expanding rash called erythema migrans (EM) or “Bulls-Eye”
• Fatigue, chills, fever, headache, muscle and joint aches, and
swollen lymph nodes
Early disseminated stage (days to weeks post-tick bite)
• Untreated, the infection may spread from the site of the bite to other parts of the body, producing
an array of specific symptoms that may come and go, including:
• Additional EM lesions in other areas of the body
• Facial or Bell's palsy (loss of muscle tone on one or both sides of the face)
• Severe headaches and neck stiffness due to meningitis
• Pain and swelling in the large joints (such as knees)
• Shooting pains that may interfere with sleep
• Heart palpitations and dizziness due to changes in heartbeat
Late disseminated stage (months-to-years post-tick bite)
Untreated infection symptoms may include:
• Intermittent bouts of arthritis, with severe joint pain and swelling
• Chronic neurological complaints months to years after infection
(shooting pains, numbness or tingling in the hands or feet, and problems
with short-term memory)

Army conducted detailed Garrison Fee Analyses for SY 09-10
Findings:
Significant variances across Army – no predictability
Many “high cost” fee locations not justified
“Artificially” low fees creating great disparities when Families PCS
Inequities among installations in same geographic areas / similar
missions

Fort Drum – The Army’s Best Kept Secret
FORT DRUM, NEW YORK
DoD is transitioning to single standard to provide consistency.
Transition will continue through SY2014-2015

Asked DoD for an Exception to Policy to phase in compliance
over a 2 - 3 year period, which was approved.
