A small new study is exploring whether psilocybin-assisted treatment may be feasible for people with post-treatment Lyme disease (PTLD), a condition involving ongoing symptoms after antibiotic treatment for Lyme disease. PTLD can include fatigue, pain, cognitive difficulties, mood changes, and reduced quality of life. While antibiotics effectively treat most Lyme disease cases, the study authors estimate that 10% to 20% of patients develop PTLD. There are currently no establi

A year-long study in France offers a closer look at the ticks found on dogs—and the tick-borne organisms detected in both dogs and their ticks. From December 2022 to December 2023, researchers worked with 41 veterinary practices across 34 French departments. The pilot project included 82 dogs and collected 165 ticks. It brought together veterinary clinics, dog owners, and research laboratories in a participatory surveillance effort. Dogs may be useful for monitoring tick acti

A recently reported case highlights an important safety concern for people taking multi-drug regimens for post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome (PTLDS): medication combinations can matter. The case involved a 62-year-old woman with PTLDS who was taking dapsone, hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), doxycycline, rifampin, and ivermectin. She went to the emergency department with shortness of breath and low oxygen levels. Her oxygen saturation was 88% on room air, although she was otherwise

Lyme disease affects over 300,000 Americans annually, yet finding effective treatment remains one of the most challenging aspects of this complex tick-borne illness. Whether you've recently been diagnosed or have been battling chronic symptoms for years, understanding your treatment options is cruci

For most patients, appropriate antibiotic treatment successfully clears Lyme disease infections, leading to complete recovery. However, a subset of individuals continues to experience debilitating symptoms months or even years after completing standard treatment protocols. This condition, known as p

Getting an accurate Lyme disease diagnosis can be one of the most challenging aspects of dealing with this complex tick-borne illness. Unlike many other diseases, Lyme disease doesn't follow a predictable pattern, and its symptoms often mimic those of numerous other conditions, earning it the nickna

Lyme disease, caused by the spirochete bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi, affects hundreds of thousands of people worldwide each year. While many patients respond well to standard antibiotic treatment, a significant portion continue to experience persistent symptoms even after completing recommended the

What if the reason some Lyme disease patients don't fully recover isn't because the antibiotics don't work—but because the bacteria have found a way to hide from them? Groundbreaking new research is shedding light on a potential game-changer in our understanding of Lyme disease treatment options and

Getting an accurate Lyme disease diagnosis can be one of the most challenging aspects of dealing with this complex tick-borne illness. Each year, approximately 476,000 Americans are diagnosed and treated for Lyme disease, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), yet many ca

Lyme disease affects over 476,000 Americans annually, making it the most common vector-borne illness in the United States. While early detection and treatment typically lead to full recovery, the complexity of this bacterial infection—caused by Borrelia burgdorferi—means that treatment approaches mu

Have you ever wondered why some Lyme disease patients continue experiencing symptoms even after completing their prescribed antibiotic course? Groundbreaking research published in 2026 may finally provide answers—and it could change how we approach Lyme disease treatment options forever.
