Glossary Term

Lyme-Literate

A patient-driven phrase used to describe providers who are comfortable discussing Lyme disease complexity with more context.

Definition

Lyme-literate is a patient-facing phrase rather than a universal certification. In practice, people often use it to mean a provider who seems more comfortable discussing Lyme disease, co-infections, or long-term symptom complexity in detail.

Why it matters here

Because the phrase is broad, directory users still need structured profile details to compare providers responsibly.
