In this episode we sit down with Erin Dawicki, Co-Founder & CEO of LymeAlert, an early-stage startup emerging from MIT where they’re taking on the most common vector-borne disease in the United States.By empowering people with an at-home tick testing kit, LymeAlert lets you test a tick for the bacteria that causes Lyme disease and get results in 20 minutes or less. If the tick carries disease, users are prompted to connect with a healthcare provider immediately.With Lyme disease now diagnosed in all 50 states and 65 countries, and delayed diagnosis leading to chronic lifetime consequences, LymeAlert is racing to close the gap between a tick bite and treatment.
