Lyme disease is no joke, but could relief from post-treatment (PTLD) be part of the same ecosystem where the tick thrives?
It's one the most beautiful and temperate times here in the Pacific Northwest (PNW). The sun is shining and flowers are blooming, the perfect time to get out into nature for backpacking and hiking. But Ack! It's also tick season again!
A Johns Hopkins pilot study found that psilocybin, given with psychological support, was safe and well tolerated in adults with post-treatment Lyme disease and was associated with significant, lasting reductions in multi-system symptom burden, including improved mood, fatigue, sleep, pain, and quality of life for up to six months.
