Minneapolis Firefighter’s Heart Stopped due to Lyme disease

Dec. 1, 2020

His symptoms were:

• severe fatigue
• AV heart block

Unfortunately the infectious disease doctor took a “wait and see” approach waiting for test results which has been hurting people for decades. He needed a temporary pace-maker and remained the the ICU.

Due to his experience he is helping with a project in conjunction with Lyme Awareness Minnesota to put two tick safety books in every elementary school in Minnesota.
