RX Lyme, a trusted online resource for Lyme disease education, has published a new report titled “Lyme Disease and Dementia Link.”
-- First published in early 2024, the report sheds light on the potential connection between Lyme disease, Lyme neuroborreliosis, and dementia-like symptoms, offering valuable insights into an under-explored area of medicine. Through expert insights and in-depth study, RX Lyme provides audiences with the tools they need to understand and manage Lyme disease and its impact.

Lyme disease, caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected black-legged ticks, commonly known as deer ticks. It affects thousands of individuals annually. New research suggests that if left untreated, Lyme disease may cause symptoms resembling dementia, such as memory loss, confusion, and cognitive impairment. This raises significant concerns about the long-term neurological impacts of this common disease and further underscores the need for early medical intervention and treatment.
“First and foremost, Lyme disease is not something to be taken lightly. It’s important to be aware of the risks and symptoms because early treatment can make a significant difference,” says Stanley Lang, M.D., founder of RX Lyme and author of the report. “If you’ve been bitten by a tick or you spend time in areas where ticks are common, be on the lookout for symptoms such as a bull’s-eye rash, fever, chills, and fatigue. These early signs can escalate to more serious health issues if ignored.”
In his report, Lang explains the complex ways Lyme disease bacteria can affect the brain, triggering inflammation, immune responses, and even autoimmune reactions that mistakenly attack healthy brain cells. These mechanisms disrupt normal brain function, leading to memory issues, difficulty concentrating, and cognitive decline, which he compares to a storm that interrupts thought and memory pathways.
Lang maintains prevention is the first line of defense against neurological complications caused by deer ticks. He advises individuals to take precautions against tick bites, such as wearing protective clothing, using insect repellents, and performing regular tick checks after outdoor activities. Lang also recommends those who enjoy hiking in tick-prone areas drink Cistus tea daily, as it naturally repels ticks and helps prevent bites.
Lang’s report at RX Lyme answers common questions and compiles the latest research to help readers understand the risks of hiking in tick-prone areas, identify early signs of a tick bite, and seek timely medical care if a bite is suspected or a tick is found.
