Tick Boot Camp’s guest today is Sarah Hott. Ms. Hott is a 29-year-old social media influencer, blogger, and digital marketing manager from northern Virginia. In the fall of 2016, she grew increasingly sick with an extremely high fever and body aches. The ER kept sending her away. She finally went to a walk-in clinic, where it was determined that her liver was swollen, and her gallbladder was on the brink of failure. Ms. Hott was not diagnosed with Lyme until she went to the Jemsek Clinic in 2018. By then she was cognitively impaired. She was treated with antibiotics through an IV port and has seen a lot of progress. If you would like to learn more about how Ms. Hott is using her new identity to inspire others through her social platform, then tune in now!
