About This Event

National experts and patients come together to explore how these two diseases may be confused and address the ongoing health repercussions they each represent – particularly as outdoor activities increase and Lyme disease continues to be widely misdiagnosed.

Both organizations are well positioned to host this event. As early responders to the pandemic, Project Lyme provided professionally managed patient support to the Lyme community through the Lyme & COVID Facebook group. In addition, during its educational outreach to the community, Dr. Richard Horowitz correctly predicted the overlap between these diseases over a year ago. For its part, Bay Area Lyme Foundation, a renowned as a leading sponsor of Lyme disease research in the U.S., is also a supporter of the Resilience Project, which seeks to identify people who, despite high risk of exposure to COVID-19, Lyme disease or other illnesses, do not exhibit any symptoms.
