Next is Dr. @aucott_john on Lyme disease and infection associated chronic illness. Lessons from COVID Long Haulers and ME/CFS.
Infection associated illness is not new. #LymeDiseaseAwarenessMonth
Dr @aucott_john quickly noticed the symptoms of #LongCOVID were very similar to #LongLyme. Can occur in patients with mild illnesss. Something similar in how these diseases are affecting humans (P.S. Long-haul does not occur post-flu.) #LymeDiseaseAwarenessMonth
Patients with chronic illnesses are often disbelieved. It is difficult as there are no diagnostic tests to prove "Long haul" is real.
Jeff says they were able to present the @liv_lyme@TicktrackerAPP to the The National Association and County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) during Vector Week. #LymeDiseaseAwarenessMonth

Rajadas finding TLR2 interaction in both Borrelia and SARS-Cov-2 surface proteins, also elevation of quinolinic acid. #LymeDiseaseAwarenessMonth
