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.

Lxodes Genuses of ticks are the most commonly known ticks that spread the infection. For a person to get the sickness, the tick should have attached to your body for not less than thirty-six hours. The disease cannot be transferred to another person from one person. You can also not contract the disease from other animals and foods.

The most peculiar thing about this illness is that, when you go for a test immediately after the tick bite, the chances of you testing negative is very high. The illness can be prevented by avoiding tick bites. Ensure you put on clothes that cover your body fully.

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.

How does a person treat Lyme infection? Lyme infection symptoms can be very discomforting, and immediately you get a tick bite immediately take antibiotic. Antibiotics are good for reducing the effects of the symptoms as well as treating the illness. You can also go to your health specialist and get the exact medication of what you need.

Another fact to take note of is that, the first symptoms of the infection start showing up withing two days to about three weeks. For this reason, you should take action immediately after the bite. Even so, overusing the antibiotics can be detrimental since the bacteria can form a resistance making the medication 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.
