Dr. Jeffrey Piccirillo, D.O., ILADS Trained Lyme Specialist will speak about tick-borne illnesses, symptoms of both current and chronic lyme infections, and treatment. Many individuals with autism suffer from Lyme disease reducing the immune threshold, making bodies more susceptible to immune system insults. Lyme disease, which is caused by tick bites, manifests itself with symptoms that, in some cases, are similar to those of autism. Research has shown that with proper treatment, the symptoms of autism spectrum disorders have dramatically improved and, in some cases, resolved. Individuals have never been tested or who have had a negative Lyme test in the past can come and learn about testing guidelines, type of test and labs used as well as common misinterpretation of test results. |
