Two researchers performed an independent analysis (literature review) of 20 years of published data regarding commercial test kits for #Lyme disease. The review determined that the mean sensitivity of all test kits used was only 59.5%. #CoinToss https://t.co/DZWFLUTF8Z
At a time when the suicide rate for teenagers is increasing, and the incidence of tick-borne diseases is also increasing, it’s important to be aware of the metal health symptoms associated with Lyme disease. #MentalHealthAwareness#BellLetsTaIk

A group of mothers in Ontario are asking for medical answers to determine if they passed lyme disease onto their child when pregnant. @CTV_AvisFavaro explains. https://t.co/rh8wNWOsc9
The disturbing aspect here is that new ICD-11 codes, adopted last June by @WHO, were abruptly changed Dec. 17 to drop 'congenital Lyme borreliosis' as one of several new Lyme codes. There's a story behind that, likely not pretty.
This we know:
59 cases of pregnant women with Lyme:
--10 miscarriages
--2 fetal deaths/stillbirth
--8 newborn deaths
--16 congenital anomaly/respiratory, ureter, heart problem
=36 or 61%
Do obstetricians know? Treatment helps.

Merry microscopic Christmas!
Clumped up proteins from fruit flies glow in festive form. In this composition of Drosophila cells you can see the cytoskeleton protein tubulin (grey/red), DNA (blue/yellow) and an overexpressed protein tagged with GFP (green).

So I pitched a story on failures of medicine on #Lymedisease — the dogma, the test, the many left ill. This is the reply. We have a ways to go, folks. We need to convince them: they are wrong. @Lymenews@LymeAlliance@PKhakpour@lorraine_lbj
