@LymeOntario@danaparish Sorry let me clarify….limited to people living in the US. So if there are Canadians who also live in the US they could participate.
@LymeOntario@danaparish Thank you for asking. Unfortunately this study is limited to the US. I hope to do a larger study in the future to include Canada. ❤️
@laumaciariello @danaparish Thank you much for participating in the study! The most helpful thing right now would be to share the study information with anyone or group that you may know. You can send me a message if you want me to send the study materials to you for sharing. Thanks!!!!

The Lyme Disease Education Initiative at Harvard Medical School would like to hear your Lyme disease story. If you are an adult living in the US who has been diagnosed with Lyme disease by a medical professional, you may be able to help.
