About LymeScience

The CDC and medical organizations around the world have warned of false and misleading information about curable tick-borne infections like Lyme disease. Such misinformation is being spread by so-called “Lyme literate” doctors and “Lyme warriors” who promote themselves as patient advocates while doing a disservice to patients.

Victims of misinformation may come to believe they have multiple sham infections such as “chronic Lyme”, “chronic tick-borne Bartonella”, “chronic Babesia”, “toxic mold illness”, and Morgellons. Families are spending enormous amounts of time and money on quackery in desperate attempts to treat unrecognized infections, when something else is causing the symptoms.

This is an independent site created to separate facts from fiction using the best scientific evidence.  Because patients deserve better.
