Excellent article from ⁦Cyprus Mail⁩ "Lyme disease isn’t simply a quirky celebrity ailment. It’s a global epidemic that’s been ignored, misdiagnosed, and misunderstood for far too long." cyprus-mail.com/2025/08/27/why…

Even though it can come from the same tick bite as Lyme, Babesia is a separate infection, and it needs its own testing and treatment. READ: Is Babesia blocking your recovery from Lyme disease? lymedisease.org/is-babesia-blo…

1. Worth noting that low haptoglobin is commonly associated with Babesia infection. Babesia is a parasite that in a chronic capacity can drive fatigue, body aches, headaches and other symptoms often experienced by patients with an ME/CFS diagnosis pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC53…

This is the story of my daughter Milly & Lyme Disease. There was no rash, no "summer flu", NHS blood tests negative. And she's been ill for a quarter of her life. theguardian.com/world/2025/sep… Thanks Lyme Disease UK Lyme Resource Centre for raising UK awareness. NHS must take this more seriously.

The heartbreaking, powerful story of Milly, who lost a 1/4 of her young life to undiagnosed Lyme, Bartonella, and Babesia. This is a well written and sourced story by Milly's father documenting the failures of the NHS and struggles patients are experiencing globally.
