In Search of a Lyme Vaccine

Three decades ago, after writing about people undergoing severe cases of Lyme disease in Suffolk County, I chose to get shots of a vaccine that had just become available designed to prevent the disease happening after a bite of a Lyme-carrying tick. It was 1998, and what was called LYMErix was introduced that year to counter Lyme disease. I went to our family physician, Dr. Daniel Lessner in Sag Harbor, since retired, for a series of three vaccinations. There were no side effects.

Because it is seldom hot in the beginning of May, we cover the eggplant to speed it along. We also cover it to keep the bugs off. Of course, there are pros and cons to every choice. The cover also keeps insects, like aphids, in, and, just like its cultivated host, (almost) perfectly protected. So, when I see that some of the eggplants are under attack, we opt to remove the row cover early and to expose the eggplant ... 1 Jul 2025 by Marilee Foster
