All Info About Lyme Disease Symptom,medicine and treatment
MYFOXNY.COM - Whether small or smaller, a bite from a tick is huge. Health officials around the country are keeping an eye on a new tick-borne disease called ehrlichiosis. The symptoms are similar to Lyme disease and another tickborne disease called human anaplasmosis: fever, headache, muscle aches, and loss of appetite.
"The symptoms tend to arise a little bit more quickly than they do with Lyme disease," said Dave Neitzel of the Minnesota Health Department. "People tend to develop the headache and fever a little bit more quickly after the tic bite as opposed to Lyme disease there the symptoms can arise 3 to 30 days after the tick bite."
You'll find ticks just about everywhere, especially in moist, leafy structures. Repelling them is as simple a using mosquito sprays. Look for sprays that contain 20 to 30 percent DEET. You can use it on your skin or clothing. And you'll especially want to spray it below your knees.
You can also kill them where they breed: around field mice. Russ Jundt of the Mosquito Squad uses cotton treated with an insecticide inserted in tubes that are placed in the yard, where mice live.
"And what they'll do is they'll stumble across this," Jundt said. "They'll find cotton to be actually to be a very irresistible nesting material. And they'll take the nesting material and they'll line their nest… The tick toxicant does kill the deer tick." Read more
Lyme Disease Overview
Lyme disease, sometimes referred to as Lyme infection, is a bacterial illness, transmitted to humans by the bite of deer ticks (Ixodes ticks) carrying a bacterium known as Borrelia burgdorferi. The disease has been reported in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, North Central, and Pacific coastal regions of the United States (see map) and in Europe, where it was first described almost 100 years ago. It is most prevalent in the northeastern states of the United States, with about half of all cases clustered in New York and Connecticut.
Doctors at New Haven's Yale Medical Center first described and named Lyme disease in the United States in the late 1970s. An unexpected number of residents in Lyme, Connecticut, were found to have a "new" and unusual illness.
Fortunately, less than 5% of tick bites in high-contact areas result in Lyme infections.
Doctor have learned a great deal about the illness since that original cluster of people was observed. Treatments are available for Lyme disease. Read more
