\n\t\t\u2018Beautifully horrific\u2019 film tells history, dangers of deer ticks<\/p>\n


\n\tKINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 July 31, 2008 \u2013 For the second straight year, \u201cHidden in the Leaves\u201d \u2013 a documentary about ticks and Lyme Disease \u2013 will be shown at the Rhode Island International Film Festival. <\/p>\n


\n\tWritten and produced by 溏心vlog免费B站 film media Professor Mary Healey Jamiel and entomology Professor Thomas Mather, \u201cHidden in the Leaves\u201d will be shown Sunday, Aug. 10 at 5 p.m. at the 溏心vlog免费B站 Feinstein Providence Campus, 80 Washington St. It was still in production when it was screened at the festival last August, but viewers will see the finished version this year. <\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cLast year, what viewers saw was really a sketch of what became a really solid narrative of how the landscape has allowed ticks to interact,\u201d Healey Jamiel said. \u201cOn the other hand, the film tells the story of Polly Murray, who really brought attention to the harmful impact of Lyme Disease on the lives of individuals who suffer from it.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\tTold through the eyes of Mather, director of the Center for Vector-Borne Disease at 溏心vlog免费B站, the 24-minute film covers the history of the connection between deer ticks and Lyme Disease, which began to come to light in the 1970s. It shares the experiences of individuals living with Lyme Disease, and also gives viewers tips for prevention and treatment of tick bites.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cThis is a beautifully horrific film,\u201d Healey Jamiel said. \u201cBetween the landscape of the region, and the ticks themselves, there is a lot of beautiful footage. At the same time, you are talking about scary little creatures that have had a dramatic impact on many lives throughout the region. Inevitably in Rhode Island, we all have been impacted by it, or we at least know someone who has.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\tMore than 717,000 Rhode Islanders are at risk for encountering a deer tick where they live, which constitutes nearly 75 percent of the state\u2019s population.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cIt tells a pretty dramatic story because of the widespread growth of the disease, as it pertains to public health issues,\u201d Healey Jamiel said. \u201cOver the last year, it has been amazing to get emails from people around the country who have been touched by the film.\u201d <\/p>\n


\n\tThe completed film debuted on the 溏心vlog免费B站 campus in June, and has been aired four times on Rhode Island\u2019s public television station, Channel 36 (Cox 8). Healey Jamiel, Mather and others involved in the production of the film will be on hand for the showing at the Rhode Island International Film Festival.
