Another hurricaine is headed for Puetro Rico -
Lyme Disease is on the rise -

Synopsis:

Tropical Storm Dorian is headed toward Puerto Rico and it’s expected to turn into a hurricane. Our regular climate guest, Alexander Kaufman, is in Puerto Rico, and he noted that by yesterday afternoon, grocery store aisles in San Juan had been largely depleted of water and other supplies in anticipation of the storm. And yet, all Donald Trump can talk about is how much money Congress approved in aid for the island, in inflated numbers that don’t reflect the chronic need Puerto Rico has for help combating the oncoming storm. Alexander is on Waking Up today, on the phone from Puerto Rico, to talk about what it’s like there.

Next, we speak to Dr. Raphael Kellman about the dangers of Lyme Disease. Lyme disease is currently on the rise and given how difficult it is to diagnose, there are a number of people who have it and don’t know it. What’s more, we might not know all there is to know about the history of the disease and its spread. Tune in to get the details you need to recognize the symptoms and prevent its spread.
