Kashino v. Carolina Vet. Spec. Med. Servs.

GEER, Judge.

Plaintiff Angela Kashino appeals from the North Carolina Industrial Commission's opinion and award denying her claim for workers' compensation benefits. The Commission concluded that plaintiff, who suffers from Lyme disease, failed to carry her burden of demonstrating that her illness was either a compensable injury by accident or an occupational disease. Because there is competent evidence supporting the Commission's finding that plaintiff failed to prove a causal connection between her Lyme disease and her employment, we affirm the opinion and award of the Commission.
