A new Canadian study has been published regarding the impact of Lyme disease on families.

The goal of the study was to investigate how medical and psychological issues were highlighted by parents describing their family’s Lyme disease experiences.

The Lab accepts ticks from the public & tests them for Borrelia, the #Lyme bacteria. The results are sent to the submitters. The ticks & their DNA become part of the @MountAllison Tick Bank. The tick bank is the basis of most of the lab’s research projects https://t.co/S7bQleaTEm

Lyme advocates say Canada offers “toxic tokenism” to patients.
The government recently announced new investment in Lyme disease research. However, Lyme advocates fear that the patient voice will be excluded from the decision-making process. #LymeDisease

What does 'meaningful engagement' in #LymeDisease research mean to you?

The Canadian Lyme Consortium administered an informal survey to better understand how patients and their advocates view research, and wish to be involved #LymeCommunity
