By Toni Vang


Lyme Borreliosis is a dangerous infectious sickness that is caused by bacterial organisms. One of the signs of recognizing this infection is swellings in an affected area. That is just but one of the signs of this infectious disease. Other signs include swellings without the itch, high fever, tiredness and serious headaches. The infection can be detrimental especially when in its advanced stages as it makes movements hard. Your neck also becomes stiff, joints become painful, and the heart palpitates. In this article, we will try to discuss about the question of: is there a cure for Lyme disease and what you should do immediately after noticing the signs and symptoms mentioned above.

Studies show that after a month of lack of treatment some of the people who suffer from this sickness have repeated episodes of swelling, joint pains and they develop tiredness and memory loss. Let us now look at how the disease is being transmitted. The sickness is transmitted when a tick bites a human being.

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.

At the initial stages of contacting the illness when you go for a blood test, it will possibly test negative. We all know that prevention always better than cure. Let us then look at how you can prevent the illness. The first step is to avoid being bitten by ticks. Prevention means you need to dress well by wearing long clothes.

Health hygienists regularly recommend spraying of houses using pesticides to kill all ticks within the house so as to reduce their numbers. When their numbers reduce, the likelihood of the ticks sticking to your clothes also reduces. Even so, if you get a tick that has stuck on the body or clothes, use tweezers to remove them. Do not allow them to suck too much of your blood since it through that that you contact the diseases.

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.

Finally, there is research that is ongoing about a vaccine of the sickness. There are also antibiotics such as Doxycycline, cefotaxime and other medicines that will be recommended by a doctor. Health specialists advice that when you take the medicines within seventy-two hours you will you reduce the symptoms of Lyme disease.
