"Uncertainty is fuel for science" - wish that was more recognised! James Lind Alliance So often it is doctors who determine Public Health messages & doctors find #uncertainties difficult - they need Y or N.


If LymeScience would look at science more it would find European quality evidence for continuing symptoms post LB. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34557833/ Don't know why but if we don't acknowledge & research, we won't find out NLBF Stichting Tekenbeetziekten @HaraldReiso Tick-Borne Diseases of Europe Sue Nelson

If science writers, esp for BBC Future want to know science of #Lyme disease before they write, they might like to refer to our website including the Reality Check lymediseaseaction.org.uk/about-lyme/rea… Sue Nelson. @PIFTick accreditation matters for #health information!

Thanks this week to Dartmoor Hill Farm Project Dartmoor National Park The Moredun Foundation APHA for productive discussion re #ticks & disease in humans & livestock. Farmers, vets, researchers, patients - what a good conversation about what affects us all!


It would be interesting to use this modelling to see whether this also predicts a rise in Lyme disease. Will the Borrelia rodent hosts survive the winter more?University of Stirling Livestock TBDs like Louping Ill Virus too?

Important #pharmacist can distinguish between a #Lyme disease EM rash caused by tick bite and an infected insect bite. Infected bite usually hot and itchy but EM rash usually neither.

Thanks to We're not on X anymore – formerly @PifOnline for keeping the scheme going - #patients, public, #pharmacists, #nurses and #doctors all need to know where to find answers to difficult questions. On any health condition, follow the PIF TICK!
