Lyme Disease Awareness
Retired [X] Dark Elf

--~THE BASICS: LYME DISEASE~--

Lyme disease is a bacterial disease caused by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorfieri. Transmitted through the bite of an infected tick, it is the most common and fastest growing vector-borne disease in the USA. It gets its name from the town in Connecticut where the first US cases were described.

Most patients present with an array of seemingly unrelated symptoms. These symptoms may occur months, years, or even decades after a tick-bite. If left untreated, the bacteria multiply and spread quickly, increasing the risk of serious complications.

Lyme disease is a serious and debilitating illness. The disease produces many symptoms, several of which can imitate other diseases. No two cases of Lyme disease are exactly alike.

There are 3 stages of Lyme disease:

* STAGE 1: EARLY LOCALIZED INFECTION.
-Tiredness, chills, fever, headache, muscle and/or joint pains, "summer flu", 30-50% may have the EM/ Bullseye rash. Usually easily treatable with antibiotics at this point.

* STAGE 2: EARLY DISSEMINATED INFECTION.
-Occurs days to weeks following infection. At this stage the spirochetes spread hematogenously to additional body tissues. The infection is more entrenched and harder to treat.

* STAGE 3: LATE/CHRONIC PERSISTENT INFECTION.
-If Lyme disease is not promptly or effectively treated, damage to the joints, nerves, and brain may develop months or years after you become infected. At this stage, the disease may require long-term, open-ended antibiotic therapy for months or years.

All this info is taken from the Lyme disease awareness group on Facebook.
