🌿 May is Lyme Disease and Tick-Borne Disease Awareness Month — but the fight against these illnesses continues long after May ends.

Lyme disease is a growing public health crisis, affecting over 500,000 Americans each year. And Lyme is just part of the picture. Other tick-borne infections like Bartonella and Babesia can cause serious, sometimes life-altering health challenges. We need to keep raising awareness and learning about these diseases — not just in May, but every day. 📚

Join us as we shine a light on these often misunderstood illnesses impacting millions worldwide. 🌎 Visit ASPIRE’s Tick-Borne Disease Resource Section for valuable insights, educational tools, and support. We’re committed to highlighting tick-borne illnesses year-round, providing continuous education and hope.

Living with a tick-borne illness can be isolating, frustrating, painful, and exhausting. Symptoms are often invisible, leading to patients feeling dismissed and marginalized — even by healthcare providers and loved ones. But there is hope. Recovery is possible, and knowledge empowers. 🧠💚

Did you know Lyme and other tick-borne infections like Bartonella and Babesia can trigger PANS/PANDAS symptoms, significantly impacting neurological and psychiatric health? Recognizing this link is crucial in improving outcomes.

Lyme disease isn’t confined to one month. It’s a year-round battle — and with hundreds of thousands affected every year, we can’t afford to look away.

Let’s raise awareness, educate others, and drive real change. Together, we can make a lasting difference. 💪
