Experts say Lyme disease is spreading, and as we’ve learned, so has to the controversy surrounding it. Mainstream medicine rejects the idea of chronic Lyme disease, and some doctors who speak out against it are harassed or even threatened. But patients who say they have chronic Lyme disease emphasize the treatment they’ve received from “Lyme literate” doctors helps.
So what does the science say? And how can humans protect themselves and their pets from Lyme disease? Our panel discusses it. Our guests:
- Dr. Geoffrey Weinberg, M.D., professor of pediatrics and infectious diseases at URMC
- Dr. Jackie Walker, DVM, veterinarian and Churchville Veterinary Hospital
- Marcie Kreydt, Lyme disease patient, and Southern Tier regional director for Camp Good Days in Special Times
