I've written a rapid response to a BMJ news item. lnkd.in/et2usf_j It is important that Lyme disease case numbers are not misrepresented. Lyme is not a reportable disease. Laboratory confirmed acute cases are just a fraction of annual case numbers. #MakeLymeAReportableDisease Measure then manage

Know your EM rashes! 👇 Not just a bullseye and looks different on different skin tones. #LymeDiseaseAwarenessMonth is drawing to a close but tick season is in full swing.

Lyme Resource Centre@lymeresourcecentre.bsky.social · 4mo ago

Lyme disease symptoms usually start within 3-30 days of a tick bite. These can include an expanding red rash, flu-like symptoms, fatigue, headache, & joint pains. Seek medical advice from a health professional as soon as possible. www.lymeresourcecentre.com/about-lyme #LymeDiseaseAwarenessMonth

This #LymeDiseaseAwarenessMonth please like and share and encourage people to be on target with Lyme disease.👇 Yes it can be complex but the @LymeResourceCentre 2024 patient survey suggests that we are missing too many of the more straightforward cases.

Lyme Resource Centre@lymeresourcecentre.bsky.social · 3mo ago

With the end of #LymeDiseaseAwarenessMonth the conversations don’t end here - we ask all medical professionals to be ‘ON TARGET’ with Lyme disease: 🎯 T - Tick bite / exposure 🎯 A - Aches & pains 🎯 R - Rash 🎯 G - Generalised 🎯 E - Every system 🎯 T - Treat www.lymeresourcecentre.com/booklet-for-...

As #LymeDiseaseAwarenessMonth draws to a close we hope that you have found our messaging helpful and that it has improved your understanding of ticks and #LymeDisease. If you would like to support us to help us continue our work please donate here. www.lymeresourcecentre.com/support-us/d...

Baby robins have fledged and are bobbing around our garden. Very excited but not attempting a photo because I don’t want to scare them.

Our survey of people with Lyme disease showed that before their illness, 64% didn’t know how to protect themselves from ticks and 69% didn’t know about Lyme disease. www.lymeresourcecentre.com/experience-s... #LymeDiseaseAwarenessMonth

Anyone here in the UK One Health Space want to chat with me about the issues with the way the UK Lyme case numbers are being reported in posts about the One Health VBD Annual Surveillance Report? assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/6a0c94...
