Finally online - sharing our findings that #Lyme disease bacteria can live in female reproductive organs for over a year and increase risk for gynecological disease!!! We found this increased risk in mice and humans! 😱 (thread below) medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

I have an almost irrational fear of drought/ no water, so severe I could not bear to live in CA after grad school. My family home is near a temperate rain forest in NE Ga. I follow water shortages around the world obsessively. This one spells doom. jpost.com/middle-east/ir…

Chronic, complex disorders have long lacked the bold, patient-centered, collaborative scientific acumen they need. That’s finally changing. @ImmunoFever is at the center. The MAESTRO study is mapping #LongCOVID, #ChronicLyme & more thru real-time science. wsj.com/health/chronic…
