CNY Lyme and Tick-Borne Disease Alliance
The Alliance is a collaborative of providers, scientists and community members who support research, drive education and promote awareness to combat tick-borne diseases.
Dr. Brian Fallon, the director of the Center for Neuroinflammatory Disorders and Biobehavioral Medicine and director of the Lyme and Tick-Borne Diseases Research Center at Columbia University, shares insights on a promising study being conducted at Johns Hopkins University exploring psilocybin’s potential benefits for people living with Post-Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome (PTLDS). While Dr. Fallon is not involved in the study, he highlights why this line of research could be meaningful for patients.
Psilocybin is a naturally occurring psychedelic compound found in certain species of mushrooms, often called “magic mushrooms,” and emerging research suggests it may have powerful therapeutic properties.
Stay tuned for more clips from the 2025 Lyme & Tick-Borne Disease Summit, where experts discuss groundbreaking research on all things ticks and tick-borne diseases. 💚

A new report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine highlights the urgent need for more research into the persistent symptoms experienced by some people after Lyme disease treatment—like fatigue, pain, and brain fog.
The report calls on the CDC and NIH to set up coordinated research definitions, data standards, and long-term studies for what they call Lyme infection‑associated chronic illnesses (IACI), a term that includes PTLDS. Currently, there are no validated treatments, and the root causes of these ongoing symptoms remain unclear.
This report highlights what Lyme patients have been advocating for for decades. Seeing our country’s major health organizations teaming up to tackle this problem provides hope that one day we may better understand chronic Lyme symptoms—and develop proven, effective treatments to address them. 💚
