Millions of people enjoy spending time in wilderness areas that are wooded and have leafy ground cover. This terrain is a perfect breeding ground for ticks. Many ticks carry viral and microbial diseases that can be serious and cause tremendous discomfort for the host whether human or animal. Knowing the dangers of being bitten may cause campers and hunters to ask their doctors is there a cure for Lyme disease?
Knowledge of symptoms of this malady will prepare most people for the worst should they get bitten by a tick. Early identification of problems is beneficial for treatment and curing the patient. After removing the tick you may notice a rash at the injury site. This rash will grow and a line of irritation will separate from the initial lesion creating the appearance of a bulls eye. It will not itch or feel sore but it will be warm to the touch. It will disappear within a few days and reappear later.
Most people will experience a series of common symptoms such as fatigue, swollen lymph nodes, headaches, fever and chills. The diagnosis becomes difficult because the symptoms come and go and many times a doctor is not consulted because they may not occur at the same time. As time passes more symptoms will surface if treatment is not received.
Rashes and lesions will appear on your body and you may suffer Bell's Palsy and lose muscle tone on your face. This will happen within a very few weeks of being bitten. You can expect sharp shooting pains in your head and body as well as acutely painful head and neck aches caused by meningitis or spinal cord inflammation. Sleeping will be disturbed by pain and your heart may race causing dizziness. Symptoms may lessen or disappear over time whether you receive treatment or not but further problems occur without help.
Untreated cases experience severe arthritis pain and swelling in knees, hips and other large joints. Loss of short term memory and other neurological problems in over five percent of the people who receive no treatment for their tick bites. These chronic ailments may include numbness in hands and feet as well as sharp reoccurring pains in the head and body.
Several different anti biotic medications are prescribed for this problem. They are given for up to thirty days and the people who receive early diagnosis and treatment can be fairly certain of complete recovery. Medications can be given orally or through injection on an outpatient basis. Those who delayed treatment may need hospitalization and IV treatment.
There are legal limits as to how much anti biotic can be administered to a patient and this presents a problem for those who have chronic symptoms. Doctors may refuse further treatment and insurance companies do not recognize chronic Lyme as a disease and will not cover further treatment. The internet offers natural solutions for those who suffer chronically. Most are fresh fruit and vegetable combinations that are designed to kill and flush the virus from the body.
Early detection of the disease is the surest way to assure complete recovery of this ailment. The more information you have on the subject the sooner you will know when to seek help from a physician.
