Lyme Borreliosis is a dangerous infectious sickness that is caused by bacterial organisms. One of the signs of recognizing this infection is swellings in an affected area. That is just but one of the signs of this infectious disease. Other signs include swellings without the itch, high fever, tiredness and serious headaches. The infection can be detrimental especially when in its advanced stages as it makes movements hard. Your neck also becomes stiff, joints become painful, and the heart palpitates. In this article, we will try to discuss about the question of: is there a cure for Lyme disease and what you should do immediately after noticing the signs and symptoms mentioned above.

Researchers on this illness indicate that after one month of infection you develop symptoms such as repeated swellings, tiredness, and memory loss. Many people wonder how the disease gets transferred from a person to another. You need to realize it is the ticks that transmit the illness through bites.

The Lxodes Genuses species in the family of ticks are responsible for spreading this infection. For one to be infected with the illness, the tick attaches itself to the body for not less than two days. Another important thing to note is the disease is not transferable to people; rather it can be gotten from foods or other animals.

Did you know that when you go for testing immediately after the tick bite there is high chances that you will test negative? Let us look at how you can prevent yourself from contracting the disease. If you want to prevent getting the sickness, you must then avoid being bitten by a tick. The best way to prevent tick bites is by wearing clothes that fully cover your body.

Health hygienists regularly recommend spraying of houses using pesticides to kill all ticks within the house so as to reduce their numbers. When their numbers reduce, the likelihood of the ticks sticking to your clothes also reduces. Even so, if you get a tick that has stuck on the body or clothes, use tweezers to remove them. Do not allow them to suck too much of your blood since it through that that you contact the diseases.

Lyme diseases can be treated by taking antibiotics. Even though the bite may be very discomforting, you get rid of the discomfort by immediately taking the antibiotic. The antibiotics reduce the effect of the symptoms as well as treat the disease. Additionally, you can also visit a health specialist to get medication for the illness.

Another fact to take note of is that, the first symptoms of the infection start showing up withing two days to about three weeks. For this reason, you should take action immediately after the bite. Even so, overusing the antibiotics can be detrimental since the bacteria can form a resistance making the medication ineffective.

Finally, there is research that is ongoing about a vaccine of the sickness. There are also antibiotics such as Doxycycline, cefotaxime and other medicines that will be recommended by a doctor. Health specialists advice that when you take the medicines within seventy-two hours you will you reduce the symptoms of Lyme disease.
