In some #lyme patients 10d doxy not curative. Hopefully carditis won’t be fatal (lawsuits). For those saying that doxy is curative…maybe rethink. @tuftslyme.bsky.social @idsainfo.bsky.social @johnshopkinsmmi.bsky.social @massgeneralbrigham.bsky.social pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

Tick borne disease #lyme docs have been treating reactivated viruses in chronic patients since (checks notes) early 2000’s.

Glad this is finally out. Let’s not forget to acknowledge the patient community for lobbying hard enough that is was reinstated. #MicroSky

Ixodes pacificus nymphs are in full swing in NorCal. Jelly Bean Jar Game time! How many nymphs in my 3 vials? 2 people flagging, 1 flag each side of the trail. Approximately 1 mile flagged. Final number shared tomorrow. Winner gets bragging rights. #TickTalk #VampiresIRL #DoTheDamnTickCheck

Pfizer is throwing so much money around the #lyme disease space it’s eye popping. Papers, conferences…they are funding everything and everyone. Good thing they care about actual patients…oh wait.

Sister picked one of these buggers up yesterday in Portola Valley, where @bayarealyme.bsky.social is. Plenty of ticks, and #lyme, in CA #

Again, it’s the pathogens, stupid. When will we learn that many devastating, chronic diseases are often caused by pathogens and diagnose and treat them accordingly?

10d doxy failure leads to #lyme carditis presenting as sudden cardiac arrest - if pt had been treated with longer course would he have experienced sometimes fatal carditis? Not always AV block. @Drlipid @JohnsHopkinsSPH pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

This has helped my family member - so glad it will be studied in a clinical trial!

ER suspected Lyme enough to test - which means with shortness of breath they should have immediately treated for carditis instead of waiting for results. Instead, patient died.

Some news: this was my last week at @bayarealyme as Research Grant Director. Building BAL and serving patients has been a profound personal and professional honor. I will be working with a private foundation but will stay involved with the community, BAL & @lymebiobank.bsky.social

Read this thread, but especially this one - “you have no right to erase an illness simply b/c you find its existence to be politically inconvenient” (I’ll add scientifically inconvenient as well, as in, it invalidates your body of research….)
