## Resource

In this topic-packed episode of the Survival Medicine Podcast, Dr. Joe Alton and Nurse Practitioner Amy Alton begin by discussing summer near-drowning incidents. Meanwhile, summer is a good time to discuss the rising number of shark attacks off U.S. coasts. Also, a not-so-new infection has just appeared in China called Chikungunya. Is it lethal, benign, or somewhere in-between? Plus, can the bite of a Lone Star Tick activate a cascade of allergic reactions that can be life-threatening? All this and more in the latest episode of The Survival Medicine Podcast with Joe Alton MD and Amy Alton APRN! Wishing you the best of health in good times or bad... Joe and Amy Alton
