Geoff Dow and 60 Degrees Pharmaceuticals to Discuss Babesiosis Management at Healing Lyme Summit
Expert Insights on a Rapidly Emerging Tick-Borne Disease
Washington D.C., April 10, 2025 – The ongoing battle against tick-borne diseases continues to evolve, with new challenges emerging for both patients and medical professionals. One such disease is babesiosis, a rapidly spreading infection that often co-occurs with Lyme disease. In response to this growing health concern, Geoff Dow, the infectious disease product development expert and CEO of 60 Degrees Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (SXTP, SXTPW), has been invited to share his insights and expertise during the upcoming Healing Lyme Summit.
What is Babesiosis, and Why Should We Care?
Babesiosis is a parasitic disease transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected tick. Symptoms of babesiosis can range from mild to severe and may include fever, chills, fatigue, muscle aches, and difficulty breathing. In severe cases, babesiosis can lead to organ failure and even death. Co-infections with Lyme disease and babesiosis can further complicate diagnosis and treatment, making it crucial to raise awareness and develop effective solutions.
Impact on Individuals: Personal Health and Well-being
As a babesiosis patient or someone concerned about tick-borne diseases, it’s essential to stay informed about the latest research and advancements in diagnosis and treatment. Participating in events like the Healing Lyme Summit provides an opportunity to learn from experts like Geoff Dow and engage in discussions with other individuals dealing with similar health concerns. By sharing experiences, knowledge, and resources, we can improve our understanding of these diseases and work towards better management and treatment options.
Global Implications: A Growing Public Health Issue
Babesiosis is not just an issue for individuals; it also poses a significant challenge for global public health. The disease is spreading rapidly, particularly in areas where Lyme disease is prevalent. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), babesiosis cases in the United States have more than quadrupled since 2011. As the number of cases continues to rise, it’s essential that we invest in research and development of effective diagnostic tools and treatments.
