From spending time at a leprosy colony to exploring the complexities of Lyme disease, Dr. Kelly shares rare insights from his global experiences.
Leprosy, an ancient disease, is far less contagious than most think—but it still wreaks havoc on the body. Meanwhile, Lyme disease, often misunderstood as one simple infection, is much more complicated, involving multiple bacteria and even other organisms in the same tick bite.
🎧 In this conversation, we explore:
🔬 Leprosy – A slow-growing bacterial disease that damages nerves, leading to loss of sensation and serious tissue damage. Learn why long-term antibiotics are key to treatment and what we can expect from recovery.
🐜 The interplay between organisms and the immune system and how it impacts both ancient and modern diseases.
🦟 Lyme disease – The truth behind this multi-bacterial illness and how ticks can carry more than one pathogen.
