Most of us have learned that Lyme disease is spread by a tick bite. What is less known is that Lyme disease is also congenital, meaning it can cross the placenta, both infecting and causing harm to your unborn child. Watch this video to learn more about Lyme disease and pregnancy from Mothers Against Lyme, a Project Lyme initiative.

Lyme disease affects millions of children around the world — including Rylyn Clark, a positive and happy little boy whose life changed overnight. Rylyn's mom, Maureen, describes living with Lyme as a “childhood interrupted” with years lost searching for answers and seeking recovery. In one of Project Lyme's new PSAs, Maureen encourages parents to never give up on their children and to be fierce advocates. With a proper diagnosis and treatment, there is hope. If you or someone you love is experiencing sudden symptoms attacking multiple bodily systems, it could be Lyme disease or a tick-borne illness.

Jessica Nohren’s mom was told she was in the “middle stages” of ALS in 2020. Her hands were forming into claws, her muscles were disappearing, and her lungs were only functioning at 34%. But Jessica didn’t stop searching for answers: Her mom saw a Lyme-literate doctor and was diagnosed with Lyme disease. With treatment, her symptoms began improving, and she was able to live her life again. Lyme and other tick-borne infections can overlap with or imitate degenerative diseases like ALS. Here is what Jessica and her mom want everyone to know. #projectlyme #lyme #tickbornediseases #lymediseaseawareness #chronicillness #chronicpain #neurological #brain #lymewarrior #health #mentalhealth #als #patientstories

From our friend Amanda Nova: I have a lot of clients who are dealing with chronic Lyme disease, EBV, long COVID, and mold illness. Personally, I deal with chronic Lyme disease, and to treat a flareup, I always begin by introducing a round of antimicrobial, antiviral, and anti-bacterial herbs. These herbs work by killing off and preventing the growth of the microorganisms that cause disease. The action is similar to that of an antibiotic but natural — however, usually less harsh. (Regardless, check with your doctor or health professional before starting any supplement routine) 🌿Here are my go-to’s: Resveratrol Japanese Knotweed Adrographis Cat’s claw Skullcap Sarsaparilla Eleuthero *Additionally, adding more garlic, oregano, and rosemary to your day-to-day nutrition can be beneficial! #lymewarrior #lymediseaseawareness #lymedontkillmyvibe #lymediseasewarrior #lymedisease #longcovidrecovery #longcovid #moldillness #ebv #epsteinbarrvirus
