DnB Ep 308: The Secret History of Lyme Disease and Biological Weapons with Kris Newby

In this episode of the Dudes n Beer podcast host Christopher Jordan welcomes to the show Kris Newby, author of the book Bitten: The Secret History of Lyme Disease and Biological Weapons to discuss Lyme disease, it’s shady and mysterious history and it’s ravaging effects on those afflicted. While on vacation on Martha’s Vineyard, Kris Newby was bitten by an unseen tick. That one bite changed her life forever, pulling her into the abyss of a devastating illness that took ten doctors to diagnose and years to recover: Newby had become one of the 300,000 Americans who are afflicted with Lyme disease each year.

As a science writer, she was driven to understand why this disease is so misunderstood, and its patients so mistreated. This quest led her to Willy Burgdorfer, the Lyme microbe’s discoverer, who revealed that he had developed bug-borne bioweapons during the Cold War, and believed that the Lyme epidemic was started by a military experiment gone wrong.

Join the Dudes n Beer podcast as we deep dive into the topic of biological weapons in America with author and researcher Kris Newby and discuss the more than frightening fact that Lyme Disease was actively created in a laboratory setting as posited in her book Bitten.
