Lyme Disease

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

Blood plasma, I believe. Your body sends the fluid to the wound in order to help heal it, and excess liquid leaks out. Its nothing to worry about unless its yellowish or there is also pus. That would be a sign of infection, and you should get it cleaned.

Horses lyme diesease symptoms are lameness, fever, swelling bite, and a diffrent behavior. Lyme is caused by a tick bite. You can also prevent this by talking with your pets veternainian and get a medicine to put on your pets fur to repell the ticks.

Also for other pets that horses might have a change in their behavior.

Yes, you can still get a flu shot while taking an antibiotic for Lyme's disease. The antibiotic you are taking should not interfere with the flu shot's effectiveness. It is generally recommended to maintain routine vaccinations even when on antibiotics unless advised otherwise by your healthcare provider.

Musician Daryl Hall, of the pop group Hall and Oates, was diagnosed with Lyme disease in 2005. He suffered on and off with the disease for three years, but is now cured.

***I don't know if Lyme Disease can be "cured" but he's managing it.

Yes, Doxycycline hyclate 100 mg is a commonly used antibiotic for the treatment of Lyme disease, especially in the early stages of the infection. It is effective in killing the bacteria responsible for Lyme disease, such as Borrelia burgdorferi.

Lyme disease is an infection caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, typically transmitted through the bite of an infected tick. It can lead to symptoms such as fever, fatigue, joint pain, and a distinctive rash. If left untreated, Lyme disease can affect the heart, joints, and nervous system, leading to more serious complications. Prompt diagnosis and treatment with antibiotics are key to managing the infection.

Rear lameness can be caused by a multitude of things, however to answer your question: Yes. Since lyme disease, (called Borreliosis) causes arthritis in one or more joints, it is possible that lyme disease could be making your horse lame. The only way to know for sure if it is lyme disease is for a vet to take a blood sample and run tests. Since there is no vaccine to prevent lyme disease and the horse can have it for weeks or months before the symptoms show, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Try to keep ticks off of your horse as much as possible. Check them for ticks often and if you find a tick, remove and dispose of the tick properly. (Always wash your hands after handling a tick) There are horse sprays, both commerically bought brands and homemade recipes, that you can spray on your horses legs and under the belly to help keep ticks off and keep them from attaching. It is a very good idea to spray your horse down with a repellant before AND after a trail ride. Use a repellant that is made for horses or safe for all animals. (NEVER use an insecticide made for home, garden or outdoor use (such as Raid or Hotshot) on any animal!) Avons Skin So Soft Original Bath Oil is a safe repellant. Because it is mostly oil, it is best diluted with water first so as not to contribute to your horse overheating or getting a sunburn because of all of the oil on his or her skin. Imagine yourself trying to jog or exercise in the sun while covered with suntan oil!! (1/4 cup of Skin So Soft to 1 cup of water should be strong enough to repel most ticks)

Lyme disease, caused by bacteria transmitted through tick bites, can be effectively treated with antibiotics in the early stages. However, there is no definitive cure once the infection progresses to later stages, so prompt diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent long-term complications.

Lyme disease CAN, yes, kill you, RARELY, but yes it can. I know because i have seen it happen.

Lyme disease is not normally fatal but the symptoms of a chronic infection are horrendous .

While most infections in humans result in an asymptomatic latent infection, about one in ten latent infections eventually progresses to active disease, which, if left untreated, is a chronic disease which kills more than half of its victims.

Lyme disease is caused by a group of bacteria called Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato. It is transmitted by ticks (deer ticks (Ixodes scapularis) in North America, and sheep ticks (Ixodes ricinus) in Europe).

not really. the ELISA test is the 1st test your primary doc will use to test for lyme disease, unfortunately it can come back false positive or false negative. the western blot test looks at more of the spectrum so to say. the elisa test came back negative for me but the western blot showed i had/have it, in multiple strains

YES! IT CAN!!! Before I started treatment, my doctor took a baseline hemoglobin and such test, and as you get treatment, the number increases back to normal amount and that's supposedly how you know you are cured.

Yes. Lyme disease can be cured with anti-biotics if it is diagnosed early enough. If left untreated, it becomes harder to cure. There are also co-infections and other long-term symptoms that can be associated with Lyme disease.

I can't answer your question medically but I do have that problem and Lyme disease. Here is a link to an article that may very well answer what you are asking. I hope it helps.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) there were 28,921 confirmed cases of Lyme Disease in the United States in 2008. This was a 5% increase on 2007.

Please note that 2008 was the last year the CDC provided data for as of February, 2010 however the related links should be checked for updated information.

Many doctors will treat the issues caused by chronic lyme disease rather than the disease itself. Antibiotics are the main treatment of lyme disease however they are not always 100% effective. Arthritis that continues after antibiotic treatment can be treated with hydroxychloroquine and methotrexate. Neuropathic pain is treated with Gabapentin.

1. El lobo, del latín "lupus" = the wolf, from Latin 'lupus'
2. Cierto tipo de enfermedad que afecta mucosas y piel; y que está muy coligada con la artritis. (También se llama "lupus" en español.) --- A certain type of illness which affcets the mucous membranes and skin; and which is much linked to arthritis (Also called 'lupus' in Spanish)

If the surrounding area is swollen or red, the dog may have an infection from the tick bite, but if the skin looks and feels normal around where the tick was removed, there shouldn't be any connection to the tick bite. Also, make sure you removed all of the tick's head and mandibles from the bite spot, as this could keep the wound open allowing infections to enter.

Always see a vet for a final answer.

Soy sauce is made from the soy bean. It also has a large amount of sodium (AKA Salt).

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.
