"60 Minutes" takes a look at whether genetically engineered mice might be the answer to controlling the spread of Lyme disease.

Wild mice are the main carriers of Lyme. Scientists are exploring a technology that could modify the DNA of mice, making their offspring immune to Lyme disease.

I’ve noticed a troubling trend in Lyme disease care. Some patients are being told they need a spinal tap (lumbar puncture) to “rule out neurological Lyme disease.”

Is that true?

Performing spinal taps to diagnose Lyme disease is often unnecessary. Learn when CSF testing helps and when it causes more harm than good.

September is Alzheimer's Awareness Month.

I’ve spent much of my career studying cognitive decline. Before I specialized in Lyme disease, I taught medical students about dementia. I ran programs evaluating memory loss in older adults.

So when I say that Lyme disease and dementia can be confused, I don’t say it lightly.

What are the key signs of Lyme-related cognitive decline?

Lyme disease and dementia can look alike. When Lyme is diagnosed and treated, dementia symptoms can resolve. Here’s what patients and doctors should know.

When most people hear “Lyme disease,” they imagine the classic bull’s-eye rash. In reality, that textbook image is the exception, not the rule.

Understand the many forms Lyme disease rashes can take.

Lyme rash misdiagnosis is common. Many rashes aren’t bull’s-eyes, delaying care. Learn how to recognize Lyme skin signs.
