"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!

We really need this for #LymeDisease or research will carry on stagnating and not finding answers that are desperately needed. lymecos.org

Thank you for opening - Interesting to see and hear about new techniques & facilities for researchers. Progress in many fields, though not yet #Lymedisease. We need interested researchers!

Lyme Disease Action (@lymeaction) 's Twitter Profile Photo

We hope you will genuinely engage patients & the public in continuing research into UK #Lyme disease. Look forward to hearing from you! Guidelines currently based on European research & we have some differences; they may matter. @LHSTM lymediseaseaction.org.uk/latest-news/is…

Rather surprised that this The BMJ editorial is not #OpenAccess. Any reason BMJ Patient Editor? Patient involvement in developing clinical guidelines bmj.com/content/387/bm…

In the UK #Lymearthritis is fairly rare. But if you happen to have arthritis and high CRP with #Lyme then a BSR doc may see you. If you still have symptoms post treatment ask them to read bsky.app/profile/lymedi… We need Docs to take an interest Dr Ben Marsh 💙 @smhopkins

Editor's choice @bmj.com-“The task we face ... in medicine and healthcare is to hold firm to information that’s trusted, ..”. But trusted by whom? By doctors who say continuing symptoms after #Lyme disease are not due to Lyme? Or researchers publishing data showing they might be?

Summer’s a great time to get outside, but ticks love the outdoors too. 🌳☀️ If you're walking through grassy or wooded areas, take a look at our guidance to help you stay safe and #BeTickAware. 👇
