Lyme disease is a bacterial infection which is caused by bacteria called Borrelia burgdorferi and
it is spread through the bite of one of several types of ticks.It can affect any organ of the
body,including the brain and nervous system,muscles and joints,and the heart.Once a tick has
attached,if undisturbed it may feed for several days.The longer it stays attached,the more likely it
will transmit the Lyme and other pathogens into your bloodstream.
Causes of Lyme disease include:Doing outside activities that increase tick exposure in an area
where Lyme disease occurs like gardening, hunting.Having a pet that may carry infected ticks
home and Walking in high grasses.
Lyme disease occurs in three stages as (1) early localized disease with skin inflammation and
rash;(2)early disseminated disease with heart and nervous system involvement, including palsies
and meningitis;and (3) late disease featuring
Symptoms of early localized Lyme disease (Stage 1) begin days or weeks after infection. They
are similar to the flu and may include:Chills,Fever,General ill feeling,Headache,Joint
pain,Muscle pain,Stiff neck.There may be a "bull's eye" rash,a flat or slightly raised red spot at
the site of the tick bite.It can be large and expanding in size.This rash is called erythema
migrans.Without treatment,it can last 4 weeks or longer.
Symptoms of early disseminated Lyme disease (Stage 2) may occur weeks to months after the
tick bite and may include:Numbness or pain in the nerve area,Paralysis or weakness in the
muscles of the face,Heart problems,such as skipped heartbeats (palpitations),chest pain,or
shortness of breath.
Symptoms of late disseminated Lyme disease (Stage 3) can occur months or years after the
infection. The most common symptoms are muscle and joint pain,Abnormal muscle
movement,Joint swelling,Muscle weakness,Numbness and tingling,Speech problems,Thinking
problems.
Treatment
Lyme disease is usually curable with antibiotics.The type of antibiotic depends on the stage of
the disease (early or late) and what areas of the body are affected.
Avoiding known tick-infested areas obviously can prevent transmission of Lyme
disease.Because Lyme disease is transmitted by ticks attaching to the body,it is important to use
tick-bite avoidance techniques when visiting known tick-infested areas.Spraying insect repellant
onto exposed skin can help to keep ticks off of skin and clothes.Wearing long pants tucked into
boots and long sleeves can protect the skin.Clothing,children,and pets should be examined for
ticks.Ticks can be removed gently with tweezers and saved in a jar for later
identification.Bathing the skin and scalp and washing clothing upon returning home might
prevent the bite and transmission of the disease.

Lyme disease is a bacterial infection which is caused by bacteria ca.pdf

  • 1. Lyme disease is a bacterial infection which is caused by bacteria called Borrelia burgdorferi and it is spread through the bite of one of several types of ticks.It can affect any organ of the body,including the brain and nervous system,muscles and joints,and the heart.Once a tick has attached,if undisturbed it may feed for several days.The longer it stays attached,the more likely it will transmit the Lyme and other pathogens into your bloodstream. Causes of Lyme disease include:Doing outside activities that increase tick exposure in an area where Lyme disease occurs like gardening, hunting.Having a pet that may carry infected ticks home and Walking in high grasses. Lyme disease occurs in three stages as (1) early localized disease with skin inflammation and rash;(2)early disseminated disease with heart and nervous system involvement, including palsies and meningitis;and (3) late disease featuring Symptoms of early localized Lyme disease (Stage 1) begin days or weeks after infection. They are similar to the flu and may include:Chills,Fever,General ill feeling,Headache,Joint pain,Muscle pain,Stiff neck.There may be a "bull's eye" rash,a flat or slightly raised red spot at the site of the tick bite.It can be large and expanding in size.This rash is called erythema migrans.Without treatment,it can last 4 weeks or longer. Symptoms of early disseminated Lyme disease (Stage 2) may occur weeks to months after the tick bite and may include:Numbness or pain in the nerve area,Paralysis or weakness in the muscles of the face,Heart problems,such as skipped heartbeats (palpitations),chest pain,or shortness of breath. Symptoms of late disseminated Lyme disease (Stage 3) can occur months or years after the infection. The most common symptoms are muscle and joint pain,Abnormal muscle movement,Joint swelling,Muscle weakness,Numbness and tingling,Speech problems,Thinking problems. Treatment Lyme disease is usually curable with antibiotics.The type of antibiotic depends on the stage of the disease (early or late) and what areas of the body are affected. Avoiding known tick-infested areas obviously can prevent transmission of Lyme disease.Because Lyme disease is transmitted by ticks attaching to the body,it is important to use tick-bite avoidance techniques when visiting known tick-infested areas.Spraying insect repellant onto exposed skin can help to keep ticks off of skin and clothes.Wearing long pants tucked into boots and long sleeves can protect the skin.Clothing,children,and pets should be examined for ticks.Ticks can be removed gently with tweezers and saved in a jar for later identification.Bathing the skin and scalp and washing clothing upon returning home might prevent the bite and transmission of the disease.
