Peter Wild, Neighbor

Peter Wild is the Executive Director of Lyme Research Alliance, Inc., a non profit that promotes research into Lyme and other tick-borne diseases. 

Lyme disease is a silent epidemic that affects hundreds of thousands of people every year, especially in the northeastern United States. It is the most commonly reported tick-borne disease in the US and takes the heaviest toll on our children, with the highest incidence among the 5-14 age group.

For every case of Lyme disease reported, the Centers for Disease Control estimate that 10 go undetected, often with severe long-term consequences.

Lyme Research Alliance’s primary focus is on accelerating the development of more effective methods of diagnosis and treatment of Lyme Disease.

Lyme Research Alliance funds cutting edge studies at leading medical research centers around the country. The organization also promotes education about detection and prevention of tick-borne illness in our own back-yard in the northeastern states.
