Quick Glance: New Tick-Killing Pill: Hope Against Lyme Disease
- Tarsus Pharmaceuticals is developing a pill for humans that paralyzes and kills ticks to protect against Lyme disease.
- The pill has shown promising results in a small trial, killing ticks within 24 hours of drug intake and lasting effects for up to 30 days.
- The development of this pill could not only protect against Lyme disease but also other tick-borne diseases like babesiosis and anaplasmosis.
- While the efficacy of the pill in preventing Lyme disease is yet to be proven, cautious optimism surrounds its potential as a preventive measure for individuals in tick-infested areas.
