Extractions: Disease Index NJ InTouch Lyme Disease What is Lyme disease? Lyme disease is a bacterial disease caused by Borrelia burgdorferi (boar-ELL-ee-uh burg-dorf-ERR-eye). The bacterium is transmitted to humans via a tick bite. Within 1 to 2 weeks after being infected, a "bull's-eye" rash can develop at the tick bite site accompanied by fever, headache, and muscle or joint pain. Some people may have Lyme disease and not have any early symptoms. However, others can have a fever and other "flu-like" symptoms without a rash. Who gets Lyme disease? Anyone who is bitten by a tick carrying the bacteria can get Lyme disease. Proper removal of a biting tick from the skin within 48 hours of being bitten can reduce the risk of disease transmission. How is Lyme disease spread? What are the symptoms of Lyme disease? How soon do symptoms occur? The red "bull's-eye" rash (erythema migrans) usually appears 7 to 14 days following the tick bite. Some patients present with later manifestations without having had early signs of disease. How is Lyme disease diagnosed?

http://www.drschoen.com/articles_L2_10_.html

Extractions: Allen M. Schoen, D.V.M., M.S. L Lyme disease has often been nicknamed the great imitator. This is because many of the symptoms can mimic symptoms of many other diseases because it can effect so many different organ systems. I remember one gordon setter puppy I saw and the first symptom of Lyme disease that showed up was lack of appetite and an arrythmia in the heart that I picked up on my exam. It only got stiff and lame three days later. Fortunately I knew the heart problem wasn't there a few weeks prior on a normal exam and was suspicious of Lyme and we treated it successfully and the heart problem resolved. When considering Lyme disease as a possibility, one must also think about other tick-transmitted diseases such as Rocky Mountain spotted fever or canine erlichiosis. Arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, other joint diseases as well as kidney failure or heart problems from other causes need to be considered as well. The best prevention still is checking your dog carefully and removing any ticks at least once a day. Collars do not seem to work that well, although some of the topical insecticides do seem to work well, but then one has to weigh the potential toxic effects of these insecticide from the beneficial effects of preventing ticks. Again, I tend to compromise and only use the topicals during the greatest incidence of tick usually in the spring and fall. It is all a balance! Keep your pets away from tick infested areas, check them daily and stay healthy and happy and tick free!!

Extractions: A person does not have to be infected to be affected by a disease. This site began many years ago as a single page. It was an attempt to educate people on how devastating Lyme disease can be. My relationship with others who were infected or fell victim to chronic diseases expanded the scope of this site. Chronically ill from work related exposure, they were discarded by employers. Denial of health insurance and treatment soon followed. Some of these people were fellow health care professionals and Emergency Medical Service personnel. The injustice they suffered daily needed to be made public, and the site grew. Then came September 11, 2001. It is estimated that more than three million people are now infected with Lyme disease in the United States. But the CDC tracks cases of Lyme disease by using strict criteria meant for surveillance (not diagnosis). Epidemiologic data suggest that the actual incidence of Lyme disease is many times higher than CDC data shows. Because Lyme patients are continually being mis-diagnosed with such diseases as: Multiple sclerosis, Lupus, mononucleosis, Alzheimer's disease, Arthritis, Lou Gehrig's disease, Chronic fatigue syndrome and a myriad of other illnesses, these unlucky individuals are not included in any census. Without the correct treatment, patients run the risk of "Persistent Lyme Disease Syndrome" (PLDS).

Dogs and Arthritis Lyme Disease Although it's spread by a bug only slightly bigger than the period at the end of this sentence, Lyme disease can cause big problems if not treated quickly enough. Often called the "great imitator," Lyme disease can be tricky to recognize by people who have it because its symptoms can mimic those of mononucleosis, meningitis, multiple sclerosis or rheumatoid arthritis and other diseases. In fact, when the disease was first observed in children in Old Lyme, Conn., in 1975, doctors suspected an outbreak of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. However, rheumatologists from Yale discovered that a tick was at fault. It wasn't until years later that a researcher identified the real culprit behind the children's swollen knees and fevers: a spiral shaped bacterium called Borrelia burgdorferi, which is transmitted by the tiny deer tick. Today, cases of Lyme disease have been identified in nearly all 50 states, but the vast majority of breakouts occurs in the Northeast, as well as in Wisconsin and Minnesota. And while the symptoms of Lyme disease can mimic other conditions, it can be diagnosed and treated fairly easily by a doctor who recognizes the signs. Lyme typically occurs in the following stages: Early Localized Disease This stage occurs during the first seven to 10 days after infection. It is characterized by an expanding red rash (sometimes in the shape of a bull's eye) and viral-like symptoms including chills, fever, headache, stiff neck, fatigue, swollen lymph nodes, and aching joints and muscles.

It may cause a number of medical conditions, including arthritis, nerve or heart problems. Early detection can prevent more serious disease. What Are the Symptoms? Learn to recognize symptoms because ticks are very small, you are more likely to recognize early symptoms, rather than notice the tick bite. Early symptoms (seven to ten days): Later symptoms (months to years): Arthritis, especially in knees.

http://www.health.state.ny.us/nysdoh/communicable_diseases/en/lyme.htm

Extractions: Further Information Wadsworth Center for Laboratories and Research Lyme disease is caused by bacteria transmitted by the deer tick (Ixodes scapularis). Lyme disease may cause symptoms affecting the skin, nervous system, heart and/or joints of an individual. Over 45,000 cases have been reported to the New York State Department of Health since Lyme disease became reportable in 1986. Lyme disease can affect people of any age. People who spend time in grassy and wooded environments are at an increased risk of exposure. The chances of being bitten by a deer tick are greater during times of the year when ticks are most active. Young deer ticks, called nymphs, are active from mid-May to mid-August and are about the size of poppy seeds. Adult ticks, which are approximately the size of sesame seeds, are most active from March to mid-May and from mid-August to November. Both nymphs and adults can transmit Lyme disease. Ticks can be active any time the temperature is above freezing. Infected deer ticks can be found throughout New York State. How is Lyme disease transmitted?
