Lyme Disease

Polio and Guillain-Barre syndrome are two diseases that can potentially cause permanent paralysis due to damage to the nerves and muscles. Other conditions such as spinal cord injuries or certain autoimmune disorders can also lead to permanent paralysis.

Lyme disease is not generally considered to be hereditary, so future children of a father with Lyme disease are not automatically at risk of inheriting the disease from their father. However, they could potentially be exposed to the same environmental factors that can lead to Lyme disease, such as tick bites, so precautions should be taken. It's always best to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.

Nerve damage, Bell's palsy, severe Arthritis, chronic fatigue, extreme mood swings, cognitive disorders, inflammation of joints, frequent headaches, and difficulty sleeping.

According to the CDC's profile on Lyme disease, the bacteria that commonly causes the disease is known as Borrelia burgdorferi. Upon searching elsewhere for more specific information about the bacterium, I found an excerpt from an article published in 2012 in the journal Nature Reviews Microbiology. The full article is titled: Of ticks, mice, and men: understanding the dual-host lifestyle of Lyme disease spirochaetes and can be accessed through the archives of the journal's website. The article excerpt contained a diagram and explanation of a deer tick's life cycle. According to the article, deer ticks are infected with the bacteria after feeding on other infected animals such as birds, squirrels, and mice. Once infected, the tick will become a host for the bacterium for the remainder of its life. Interestingly enough though, the diagram indicates that infected female ticks do not transfer the bacteria into their eggs. Every new generation of ticks must acquire their own infection!

Actually, it wasn't named after SOMEBODY, it was named after a city in Connecticut. Lyme, Connecticut in 1975.Children usually got arthritis, and the disease eventually infected the skin, joints, nervous system, and, if untreated, other organs.

Yes, Lyme disease can cause an elevated white blood cell count as part of the body's immune response to the infection. The elevated white blood cell count is typically due to an increase in the number of neutrophils. It's important to consult a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment if you suspect Lyme disease.

Ticks get infected with the Lyme disease bacteria when they feed on an infected animal, such as mice or deer. The bacteria then multiply and are passed on to other hosts, including humans, through the tick's bite while feeding.

Ticks that transmit Lyme disease are commonly found in wooded or grassy areas, particularly in regions with high humidity and dense vegetation. They tend to thrive in environments that provide them with suitable hosts, such as deer or mice, and are often found in leaf litter, tall grasses, and bushes where they can attach themselves to passing hosts.

Lyme disease is caused by being bitten by ticks. Ticks are common in certain areas, particularly those inhabited by certain animals. Sheep, deer, birds and other animals.

A tick climbs up grass leaves/stalks, waits in leaf litter, passes from animal to animal, including your dog, and will then attach to your legs, A tick can also attach to you anywhere else on your body if it is exposed.

To protect yourself you need to eliminate or reduce the chance of a tick getting onto your body. If you're walking in areas where ticks might live you should wear long trousers and preferably tuck your trousers into your socks. Always examine yourself for ticks after being in problematic areas.. Initially the ticks will only be the size of a pinhead. Once the tick is attached to you it will suck your blood. You must remove the tick as soon as possible and it is critical that it is removed in the right way or you may actually squeeze some of the ticks body fluids into yourself.

You can also buy tick repellant to use. Check your pets for ticks, consider treating your pets with anti-tick pesticides.

Stay safe by being aware of tick risk areas. I live in the UK and in the Lake District our dog has picked up ticks on all three occasions we have been there.

Lyme disease is very nasty. It might never affect you or it might affect you many years after being infected. It can be treated by antibiotics to kill the bacteria that cause it.

Remember that prevention is better than cure.

Yes, that is the medical code for Lyme Disease.

Lyme disease is most commonly reported in the northeastern, mid-Atlantic, and north-central regions of the United States. States with a high incidence of Lyme disease include Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. However, cases have been reported in nearly all states in the U.S.

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.

i would say from what i know and suffering from it myself i could't say how it would not shorten your life. I think once you have chronic lyme you never have a very high quality of life. My father suffers as well and he was treat just a couple days after the bite. It been 3 years and he is still battling

Lyme disease is typically spread by deer ticks, which are found throughout Georgia. Therefore, it is possible to contract Lyme disease in any part of Georgia where these ticks are present. It is important to take precautions such as wearing insect repellent and checking for ticks after outdoor activities.

First, I want to make it clear, I am not a Doctor but I was diagnosed with chronic lymes in 2008 and everything I have read concerning alcohol being bad for lymes victims seems to suggest that there may be a possible alcohol based cure if only the forces that be would search in that direction.

All I can honestly say is that this disease if quite debilitating and no one I've spoken to including PhD's have any clue how to cure it. The only real relief I get is temporary and comes from regularly drinking 6.000% alcohol beer. I can drink up to (10) 12 once bottles and get up for work the next day with little if any negative effect.

If I go for say a period of two or three weeks without an alcohol booster, I become lethargic and uninspired as well as foggy minded and confused. I think these Doctors may have things all wrong and the best possible cure could lie in the manipulation of the natural fermentation process, which spirochetes carry on as a routine function.

I know there is a lot more to say concerning this subject but people who haven't dealt with this disease first hand, really have no basis in fact to guide the rest of us on how we can best deal with it.

Anyway, this is my two cents and best wishes to you and yours and I hope you find a way to deal with this so you don't lose your life and your family at a young age.

There is no scientific evidence to support the use of colloidal silver for Lyme disease treatment. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for an appropriate and evidence-based treatment plan for Lyme disease.

There is limited scientific evidence to support the use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy as a primary treatment for Lyme disease. While it may help in some cases by increasing oxygen levels in the body and promoting healing, it is not considered a standard treatment for Lyme disease. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider to discuss the most appropriate treatment options for Lyme disease.

Research on the benefits of grape seed extract for Lyme disease is limited. While grape seed extract may have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that could potentially help in managing symptoms of Lyme disease, it should not be used as a primary treatment. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider for appropriate treatment options for Lyme disease.

Lyme disease can affect all ethnic groups, but certain populations may be more at risk due to factors like outdoor activities in wooded or grassy areas where ticks are prevalent. There may also be differences in access to healthcare and awareness of tick-borne illnesses that could affect diagnosis and treatment outcomes across ethnic groups. However, the impact of Lyme disease on different ethnic groups can vary and is influenced by various socio-economic and environmental factors.

Yes. 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.

Complications from the disease can cause a patient to become permanently disabled. I have a family member who is permanently disabled due to a complication from Lyme Disease. She had such a high level of serio-active proteins that when she sneezed, she ripped her lung.


Lyme Disease affects patients in different ways and there are numerous ways in which the disease could cause a person to become disabled.

Yes, it is possible to have Lyme disease without a fever. Lyme disease can present with a variety of symptoms, and some individuals may experience symptoms such as fatigue, muscle aches, and joint pain without a fever. If you suspect Lyme disease, it is important to see a healthcare provider for evaluation and testing.
