Lyme films inspire and inform
Since 2008, UNDER OUR SKIN has brought international visibility to the hidden suffering of Lyme disease. Its 2014 sequel, EMERGENCE, updates the story and continues to spread the message. Our gratitude to filmmaker Andy Abrahams Wilson and his organization.

New ILADS treatment guidelines
The new ILADS treatment guidelines for Lyme disease promote options and informed choice. Instead of giving one-size-fits-all recommendations (like the IDSA guidelines) they encourage doctors to tailor the treatment to the patient’s individual situation.

Supported in part by a grant from LymeDisease.org, scientists at Johns Hopkins have developed a test to help determine which drugs are most effective against Lyme disease.
