We exist to provoke systematic change in the awareness, treatment, and protection of those afflicted by Lyme disease. As an advocate, Lyme Justice demands action from governments and the medical community in hearing the voices of those suffering from the disease. We exist to challenge the powers that be and ask for more science, more research, and more investigation into the spread, affects, and treatment of Lyme disease. Lyme Justice is here to let the world know—right now—what needs to change to ensure the Lyme disease community is protected and that the disease does not proliferate.

Growing up in the small town of Grantsville in Utah’s West Desert, Karma believes she was infected with Lyme disease at an early age from weaponized Lyme disease chemical testing that occurred in the late 60’s via the U.S. Department of Defense’s nearby Dugway Proving Grounds.
