    Popular summer destination ravaged by Lyme disease bets on radical new solution

    Nantucket, a popular summer destination, is addressing its high Lyme disease rates through a project called Mice Against Ticks, led by researchers including MIT’s Kevin Esvelt. The initiative aims to reduce infected ticks by breeding mice with protective antibodies that prevent the spread of Lyme disease bacteria. The project has sparked mixed public reactions, with some praising the innovation and others cautioning about ecological impacts.
