What if the story we've been told about Lyme disease is only the beginning?

Could this epidemic be the result of Cold War-era experiments?

Science writer and documentary producer Kris Newby (@krisnewby), author of Bitten and senior producer of Under Our Skin, shares how her own battle with Lyme disease led her to uncover a trail of hidden documents, Cold War experiments, and controversial research into weaponized ticks.

In this conversation, Newby explores why Lyme is so often misdiagnosed, how ticks transmit multiple pathogens that can suppress the immune system, what her investigation revealed about Willie Burgdorfer and Plum Island, and why early treatment and prevention matter more than ever. If you live in tick country, love the outdoors, or want a deeper understanding of one of the most controversial diseases of our time, this is an episode you won't want to miss.
