Should be able to yes. BUT... can you prove it? That's the problem.

Highway workers in New York won a case, after contracting Lyme Disease while working.

You will have a rash near the area where the tick bit you. It will gradually worsen over the course of time. The early stage is a circle, the later stage appears similar to a bullseye.

Doxycycline hyclate is an antibiotic that is used to fight bacteria in the body. It is used to treat infections like acne, urinary tract infections, gum disease, gonorrhea, and chlamydia.

Ticks are infected when their host is infected. The infected ticks then spread the disease to humans.

Lyme disease is only known as Lyme disease. There are co-infections of Lyme disease that may be mistaken as other names for the disease but they are actually a different infectious disease.

For more information about Lyme disease, go to www.lyme.org and http://www.lymediseaseassociation.org

Lyme disease is a systemic infection that can affect all systems of the human body. This disease is a bacterial infection transmitted by the spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi.

Lyme disease is a bacterial infection spread to humans by infected ticks.

No, a person generally does not have to fast before a Lyme disease test. There are 2 different types of test done to detect the presence of antibodies the ELISA test and the Wester blot test..

A bit from a tick may cause it.

this might help you

copy and paste that into your URL bar.

Yes, doxycycline and amoxicillin are the two most often used antibiotics.

is this really the place to be asking about this? if you think you have limes disiease go to a doctor!!! but here... - flu-like feelings of headache, stiff neck, fever, muscle aches, and fatigue. - a rash may appear around the bite area - vision changes, like blindness, retinal damage, red eye, conjunctivitis, "spots", inflamation, pain, and/or double vision - joint pain - irregular heart beats, chest pain - difficulty breathing, pnemonia i hope that helps and if you were talking about a dog i just totally wasted my time.

See the lyme risk map link below for risks in US states.

absolutely

I wouldn't say absolutely. It seems quite unlikely to me. It takes about 24 hours for the Lyme disease spirochetes to get to the saliva glands of the tick and 'prepare' to infect. These bacteria have to go through a complex biochemical process and then have to be 'injected' to a vertebrate host by the tick to be able to cause an infection.

If you eat a tick, the spirochete has to get out of the tick somehow and then survive first the oxygen (the bacteria that cause Lyme disease are anaerob/microaerophilic) then the hydrochloric acid and enzymes in your stomach. Even if all of this is possible, after that the bacterium has to get to a less 'life threatening' place in your body (preferably to your bloodstream) to be able to start to multiply.

Yes. Infection with Lyme disease doesn't give you lifelong immunity.

Yes. Lyme disease is a multi-system bacterial infection caused by the spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi. The spirochete is transmitted from one animal to another through the bite of the infective tick.

Possibly.

Reportedly there is some risk of Lyme disease passing across the placenta from pregnant mother to the unborn child.

In men and women who are not pregnant, Lyme disease cannot be passed on. **** Lyme disease CAN be Passed from PERSON to PERSON. My family and I have Lyme disease. That is how we acquired it and unfortunatley passed it through birth to our children.Lyme disease and the co-infections have been found in bodily fluids, including breast milk.

92% of the 17,730 cases reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in 2000 were from only nine states (Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey, Maryland, Massachusetts, and Wisconsin

No. Some brown deer ticks do carry the spirochete that causes Lyme disease. Lyme disease is a multi-system bacterial infection caused by the spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi. The spirochete is transmitted from one animal to another through the bite of the infective tick.

In adults the first line treatment is Doxycycline (or erythromycin in pregnancy)

Amoxicillin is used in children.

Alternatives include many of the cephalosporins.

These are all antibiotic drugs.

Treatment depends on the age of the patient (as above) and the stage of the disease.

Lyme disease can be spread through contact of the blood from an infected person. It can also be spread through sexual intercourse.

While those are the least uncommon ways, here are other ways you can catch and/or spread Lyme disease.

-Tick & mosquito bites

-Dogs, horses, cats, & mice all have the ability to get sick with Lyme disease. You can catch it by inhaling the scent of the infected feces. Therefor, the most common way to get Lyme Disease through animals is cleaning litter boxes.

Lyme disease was first identified in 1975 in Lyme, Connecticut.

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.

Typically 80-85% of women on antibiotics for bacterial vaginosis will have relief of symptoms within a week or two. However, 50% will have a recurrence within six weeks.

Changes in lifestyle can be helpful in reducing the risk of recurrence. These include avoiding perfumed vaginal products, using mild soap (not deodorant or antibacterial) in the vaginal area, avoiding douching, using condoms, wearing thong underwear only occasionally rather than daily, and making sure that if you have any anal sex play, you wash the finger, sex toy, or penis before it goes into your vagina.
