Lyme Disease and the Long Road to Recovery: Brad’s Story


In this episode of The Moos Room, Brad shares his powerful personal journey through a long and challenging battle with Lyme disease. Starting with a seemingly harmless bite in July 2023, his symptoms progressed from fatigue to severe neurological issues, misdiagnoses, and multiple rounds of antibiotic treatments over the span of nearly two years. Brad also discusses the co-infections he faced, the impact on his mental health, and how Lyme changed his approach to life and work. Emily and Brad wrap up the episode with practical, actionable tick safety tips for anyone spending time outdoors—especially farmers and pasture-based livestock producers. May is Lyme Disease Awareness Month, and this episode is a vital listen.
