onsdag, maj 8, 2024

NEW YORK, May 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The CDC now estimates nearly half a million people will contract Lyme disease in the United States each year. However, most people do not realize how Lyme disease can cause diverse, devastating symptoms in some patients. The range of symptoms is expansive and often overwhelming, from flu-like symptoms such as fatigue, fever, enlarged lymph nodes, headaches, muscle aches, and joint pain in the early stages to more serious issues such as cognitive impairment, sleep problems, mood changes, shortness of breath or heart failure when a diagnosis is missed or delayed. Lyme has been reported in all 50 states, with case counts increasing throughout the country. As the risk of contracting a tick-borne infection increases nationally, it is imperative to educate a broader audience, especially parents of young children.

Key Points: 
  • However, most people do not realize how Lyme disease can cause diverse, devastating symptoms in some patients.
  • Children are at the greatest risk of contracting Lyme disease and delayed diagnosis can prevent them from living a normal life.
  • In their new PSAs , Project Lyme tells the stories of Rylyn and Pippa , two young children who are recovering from Lyme disease.
  • Project Lyme's PSAs provide advice that if you are unsure of the source of your child's illness, it could be Lyme.
