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.
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.
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 recommend that people should regularly spray their house with pesticides to kill all ticks in the house to reduce their numbers. When the numbers of the ticks are small, you will also reduce the likelihood of the tick sticking on your clothes or when sleeping on the bed. However when you find that one has stuck on your body, you should remove it with tweezers. You should not allow a tick to suck your blood until it gets full because it is the only way you can easily get Lyme.
How would a person get treatment once they get the illness? When you see that the tick that has been removed is full of blood, it will be advisable if you take an antibiotic immediately. The reason it is important to take the antibiotic is to prevent the disease from getting to advanced stages. There are many antibiotics that will easily help in managing the illness. Remember that in the beginning it is not easy to detect the illness.
However, some people develop the symptoms as early as two days. The treatments can take up to three weeks. Beware because when you use antibiotics for long you from a resistance and it proves to 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.
