Melissa in the Morning: Vaping Study

A new study found vaping is tied to an increased risk of lead and uranium exposure in teens ages 13 to 17 who used e-cigarette over a 20-day period. Researchers recommended stronger regulations on vaping.  Another recent study found people who vape are 19-percent more likely to develop heart failure. We got Dr. Browne’s take on this including a better understanding of the impact on the human body exposed to lead and uranium. Plus, we kicked off May with Lyme Disease Awareness Month talking to our tick expert about tick bites. But what about other parasites out there? We asked Dr. Fred Browne about this.
