Imagine you ate a spicy taco and your mouth started burning, but even after drinking milk and eating ice cream, the fire just won’t seem to go away. Similarly, researchers have discovered that in some cases of Lyme disease, neurological symptoms like numbness and pain in the hands and feet persist even after treatment. But instead of the infection causing the ongoing discomfort, it’s actually an exaggerated immune response that’s to blame! A recent study suggests that the immune system’s reaction to the infection might be the true culprit behind these lingering symptoms. By better understanding this relationship, scientists can potentially develop new ways to tackle the issue and provide relief to those experiencing prolonged Lyme disease complications. So if you or someone you know is dealing with stubborn post-treatment symptoms of Lyme disease, this research could shed light on why they might be occurring and could help guide future therapies.
Neurologic complications of Lyme disease such as hand and feet numbness and pain that do not resolve with treatment may be due to an exaggerated immune response rather than the infection itself, a study published on Wednesday suggests. Researchers found that Lyme disease…
