By Toni Vang


Lyme Borreliosis also known as Lyme infection is one of the infectious diseases that are brought by bacterial organisms. One of the easiest ways to identify if you have the infection is if you see swellings in the affected areas. That is not the only sign that shows that you have the infection. Some of the other signs are that the swelling does not itch yet you feel fever, some tiredness and serious headache. When it gets to the advanced stages, it can make your movement difficult because your neck stiffs, heart palpitation and severe joint pains. In this piece of writing, we want to see: is there a cure for Lyme disease to help people mitigate the symptoms.

Researchers on this illness indicate that after one month of infection you develop symptoms such as repeated swellings, tiredness, and memory loss. Many people wonder how the disease gets transferred from a person to another. You need to realize it is the ticks that transmit the illness through bites.

The Lxodes Genuses species in the family of ticks are responsible for spreading this infection. For one to be infected with the illness, the tick attaches itself to the body for not less than two days. Another important thing to note is the disease is not transferable to people; rather it can be gotten from foods or other animals.

Did you know that when you go for testing immediately after the tick bite there is high chances that you will test negative? Let us look at how you can prevent yourself from contracting the disease. If you want to prevent getting the sickness, you must then avoid being bitten by a tick. The best way to prevent tick bites is by wearing clothes that fully cover your body.

You should also ensure that your house is always sprayed with pesticides. Spraying the ticks reduce their numbers and reduce the likelihood of getting a bite. When the ticks stick on you, it is important to remove them using tweezers and as fast before they suck a lot of your blood. It is only possible for a person to get the sickness once the tick sucks your blood full.

Lyme diseases can be treated by taking antibiotics. Even though the bite may be very discomforting, you get rid of the discomfort by immediately taking the antibiotic. The antibiotics reduce the effect of the symptoms as well as treat the disease. Additionally, you can also visit a health specialist to get medication for the illness.

It is also important to note that for the first symptoms to develop it can take a period of two days to three weeks. It is for this reason you should not keep silent immediately you remove a tick from your body. Take caution because if you overuse antibiotics the bacteria will form resistance, and it will be ineffective.

Research is still ongoing to look for a proper vaccination. Antibiotics such as cefotaxime and doxycycline have been so effective in treating Lyme disease. If you take less than seventy-two hours after the tick bite, you will reduce the likelihood of severe symptoms.
