141. VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH - LYME DISEASE FACT SHEET (EPI) lyme disease is a bacterial disease that some people get after being bitten People of any age can get lyme disease. It usually occurs during the summer http://www.vdh.state.va.us/epi/lymef.htm

Lyme Disease What is Lyme disease? Lyme disease is a bacterial disease that some people get after being bitten by ticks that are infected with an organism named Borrelia burgdorferi. Who gets Lyme disease? People of any age can get Lyme disease. It usually occurs during the summer in people who work or recreate outdoors and thus have a greater chance of coming into contact with infected ticks. Dogs and horses also have been known to get Lyme disease. How is the organism spread? The bacteria that cause Lyme disease are spread by ticks. The most likely tick vector is Ixodes scapularis (dammini) , the deer tick. Transfer of the Lyme disease bacteria from the infected tick to a person probably does not occur unless the tick has been attached to the body for 36 hours. You cannot get Lyme disease from animals or other people. What are the symptoms of Lyme disease? In most people, the first symptom of Lyme disease is a skin lesion called erythema migrans (EM) that forms at the site of the tick bite. This lesion is red and slowly gets bigger, usually with a clearing in the center. People might also have flu-like symptoms, such as fatigue, fever, headache, stiff neck, muscle or joint pain, possibly lasting several weeks. In some cases, these first symptoms don't occur. If this happens, or if the early disease is not treated, weeks to months after the tick bite other problems may develop such as nervous disorders, heart problems, or joint swelling and pain.

Site Suggestions LYME DISEASE has been recognized in Europe for almost 100 years but was not described in humans in the United States until 1975. We have learned since then that clinical disease also occurs in dogs and, to a lesser extent, in horses, cattle, and cats, while many wildlife mammals and birds become subclinically infected and serve as reservoirs for tick infection. During the 1980s the disease incidence in both dogs and humans increased dramatically; Lyme disease is now the most common arthropod-borne disease of humans in the United States, and one of the most common in dogs. What causes Lyme disease? Lyme disease is caused by Borrelia burgdorferi, a corkscrew-shaped bacterium of the spirochete group. Among the spirochetes, it is most closely related to B. hermsii, which causes tick-borne relapsing fever in the southwestern United States. Better known but more distantly related spirochetes cause such diseases as leptospirosis and syphilis. How is the disease transmitted?

By LISA GREENE, Times Staff Writer Published July 18, 2005 TAMPA - Dr. John Sinnott, an infectious disease expert from Tampa, was vacationing in Key West when a man asked him to take a look at a strange rash. The man's rash looked like the red "bull's eye" rash found in Lyme disease. But why would a disease most common in the Northeast turn up in a man who hadn't left Key West in months and couldn't remember getting bitten by a tick? Lyme disease is rare, although not unknown, in Florida. But Sinnott decided the man probably had another disease, one doctors know less about: Southern Tick-Associated Rash Illness, or STARI. Doctors think that, like Lyme disease, STARI is caused by a bacterium spread by tick bites. It causes a rash and is treated with antibiotics.

Ticks and Lyme Disease Watch Out for Ticks and Be Aware of Lyme Disease Before venturing out and enjoying the great outdoors, make sure you take some precautions against becoming infected with Lyme disease, a disease transmitted from the bite of an infected tick. The third week of July is designated Lyme Disease Awareness Week but it's always good to take precautions to prevent Lyme Disease. The following are some tips that can protect you from tick bites: Wear light-colored clothing. This allows you to see a tick more easily. Wear a hat and long-sleeved shirt. Tuck your clothes in, shirts into pants and pants into socks. Use a rubber band or tape the area where the socks and pants meet to prevent ticks from getting under clothing. Use an insect repellant with DEET on exposed skin and clothes. Read the label instructions and cautions about use on young children. When hiking, stay in the middle of trails, and avoid underbrush, fallen tress, and tall grass. After being outdoors or if you are outdoors for a long period, perform a tick check. Shower immediately after coming indoors. If you find a tick on your body, remove it by doing the following; Using a pair of fine-tipped tweezers, grasp the tick as close to the skin as possible and pull slowly, steadily, and firmly. Avoid crushing the tick’s body.

155. Home Page For LymeTreatment.com Explores alternative treatments of lyme disease, including hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment, and intracellular hyperthermia (ICHT) treatment. http://www.lymetreatment.com

@import url(http://www.homestead.com/~media/elements/Text/font_styles.css); Lyme disease is controversial and misunderstood by the conservative medical community. For this reason most Lyme patientsand especially those with chronic, long-term symptomsare left to self-diagnose and self-treat. LymeTreatment.com is a resource that Lyme patients can use when making decisions about where to target their often limited resources. Lyme disease affects each person differently. Thus, any given treatment may work for one person but not for another. As Lyme patients, we have the responsiblity to find the treatmentor more likely, the combination of treatmentsthat work best for us. LymeTreatment.com In May 2004, this site underwent major revisions due to constant change in the diagnosis and treatment of Lyme disease, I have deleted many of the ICHT articles because that therapy is no longer available. There is new information on systemic candida, something that a growing number of Lyme patients and professionals believe is interlinked with many Lyme symptoms. For the latest update, including information on candida, heavy metals, and leaky gut syndrome, click on the Hyperthermia (ICHT) link on the upper-left side of this page.

156. Wendy Fox Lyme Disease Fund An appeal for help for Wendy Fox, a critically ill UK lyme disease sufferer. Read updates and news articles. http://www.wendyslymefund.co.uk

Launched 16th August 2004 Message From Wendy Fox, 10th November 2004 Dear All, I wish to thank everyone who has sent messages, letters and cards of concern and well wishes. I thank everyone who has sent donations to aid my treatment and appreciate every single donation, no matter how large or small. I am especially appreciative because I know that, for many of you, it has been while funding your own treatment, so your generosity and kindness has been overwhelming. It is with all this in mind that I give you the great news that I have won my battle with the Health Authority that funds treatments in the UK. It was because of my dear friends and all the wonderful people that were kind enough to respond to their plea for help that I have been able to import the desperately needed medication from Canada to the UK while I battled with my health authority for treatment. I fear that this fight may have been won but there may still be more to come. Although I have been granted this treatment the Health Authority have not stated how long they are prepared to fund the treatment. As my treatment plan is over a very long duration, owing to the severity of my condition, I fear that changes or extensions of treatment may be denied to me in the future. The best way in which I could help all present sufferers, and future ones, is to raise awareness of Lyme disease and to educate doctors about the correct methods of diagnosis and treatment. GPs (primary care Doctors), in the UK have mostly no idea of what Lyme disease is - let alone how to treat it and so the creation of a leaflet educating them would benefit not only myself but all connected with this insidious disease.
