Tender Corp's Natrapel® 8 hour To Support Local Screenings of Lyme Disease Documentary 'Under Our Skin' April 12, 2010 - Littleton, NH LITTLETON, N.H. (APRIL 12TH, 2010) – Tender Corp., a leading manufacturer of over-the-counter skincare and first aid products designed for active outdoor lifestyles, today announced that it will provide educational support at community screenings of the award winning documentary Under Our Skin -- which examines Lyme disease, a highly debilitating disease spread by Ticks, that has become one of the most controversial and fastest growing health problems of our time. At select screenings this Spring, Tender Corp. and its outdoor division Adventure Medical Kits will distribute copies of special Tick Reference Cards, which include tips for identifying and safely removing ticks as well recognizing symptoms of Lyme disease. Tender will also provide free samples of its DEET-free insect repellent Natrapel® 8 hour to attendees. “Being based in the Northeast, we’re located right in the center of tick country,” says Tender Corp. brand manager Dave Anderson. He continued, “Many of us have loved ones, or know friends and colleagues with Lyme disease who have endured years of frustration associated with ill-health, wrong diagnoses and often an unresponsive healthcare system.” Spread by the Deer Tick, Lyme disease is an infectious disease that can cause long-term and ongoing illness with a range of symptoms that include chronic pain, fatigue and anxiety. According to the CDC’s most recent stats, close to 29,000 cases of Lyme disease were confirmed in 2008. However, as the film Under Our Skin documents, Lyme disease is often difficult to test accurately, which means tens of thousands of people go undiagnosed or misdiagnosed each year. Added Anderson, “We’re honored to have the opportunity to increase awareness about this very serious and misunderstood disease and help complement the groundbreaking work that the filmmakers of Under Our Skin have accomplished on this subject.” Look for Natrapel® 8 hour educational Tick Cards and Wipe samples at these screenings of Under Our Skin at the following venues:
