Who is the actress or spokeswoman in the AARP Lyme Disease television commercial?
Isn't it Angela Kinsey from The Office? Haven't a clue. But she's really good. She's pale, frail, skinny and weak. She's got Lyme Disease down. Too bad those of us with Chronic Lyme Disease don't get any respect.
Is Lyme disease contagious?
Depending on how you mean, yes and no, and undecided. Lyme disease is considered an 'infectious disease', because it is transmitted by the bite of a tick. It can also be passed invitro (mother to infant) in humans, and early signs are beginning to show that it could also be sexually transmitted. Because the bacteria is constantly changing to fit the world it lives it (us!), the development of Lyme disease as a sexual transmitted disease is a very real possibility in the near future. Many partners of people with Lyme disease have developed the disease, and most Lyme literate doctors believe this is the case. So yah, its infectious. and very dangerous.
How do horses get Lyme disease?
Yes. Talk to a Veterinarian about giving the Lyme disease vaccine to your dog as a preventive measure, there are some who believe it may be effective and others who do not. It is not necessary except in certain areas of the US, so speak to a Vet about its use. Symptoms of Lyme disease in dogs include: # High fever # Swollen lymph nodes # Lameness # Loss of appetite # Inflamed joints # Lethargy Dogs get Lyme disease from very small deer ticks that carry the bacteria that causes Lyme Disease. Preventive tick repellents and systemic medicines that provide protection against ticks should be used for dogs in areas where these ticks carrying the bacteria are found such as dogs along the Atlantic coast, those in New England states, in Oregon and California, and some Midwestern states. Treatment for infected dogs is usually antibiotics or antimicrobial agents.
