No One’s Talking About This Lyme Risk…
Summary
- Vector-Borne Pathogens Can Cross the Placenta: Pathogens like Borrelia, Bartonella, and Babesia are capable of passing from mother to fetus by breaching the placental barrier, especially during pro-inflammatory periods of pregnancy. This can lead to neurodevelopmental disorders, congenital abnormalities, and long-term health challenges.
- Our Medical Systems Are Missing the Mark: Despite decades of research confirming congenital Lyme, there is still no routine screening, inadequate diagnostic tools for newborns, and a lack of ICD codes—leading to underreporting, misdiagnosis, and insufficient support for affected families.
- There’s Hope Through Early Recognition and Intervention: From recognizing key maternal and infant symptoms to addressing infections early with safe protocols and inflammation reduction, there are actionable strategies for prevention and recovery. Children’s brains are resilient, and healing is possible.
