Lyme disease is infection caused by several species of Borrelia bacteria, and is typically transmitted by ticks, in particular deer ticks (vector). Small mammals, such as mice and squirrels, are the primary reservoir for Borrelia. They host the larval and nymphal forms of deer ticks and infect them with the bacteria. Deer host adult ticks, but do not carry Borrelia. Lyme disease is most prevalent in areas where deer ticks are most abundant.
Not every tick bite leads to Lyme disease. To cause the disease, the tick must be infected with Borrelia, and the infected tick must attach to the human body long enough, typically for at least 36 hours, for the bacteria to enter the body.
The best way to prevent Lyme disease is to avoid tick bites, by staying away from wooded areas, or covering up the skin and using insect repellents; and if bitten, to remove the tick as soon as possible.
In the early stage of the disease, the bacteria spread from the site of the tick bite, forming a characteristic bull's eye-shaped rash, called erythema migrans, that expands over the course of several days, then fades after 3 to 4 weeks. The rash is warm to touch but typically not itchy or painful. However, some patients may have an uncharacteristic rash, or no rash at all. Patients may also have flu-like symptoms and swollen lymph nodes at this stage.
Without treatment, the bacteria spread through the lymphatic system and bloodstream to other organs and other skin sites, and the disease progresses to the early-disseminated stage, stage 2, which typically starts after a month, and lasts for a couple of months. Symptoms are due to inflammation triggered by the bacteria in the affected organs. In the joints, inflammation causes joint pain, most commonly in the knees. In the nervous system, inflamed nerves can result in numbness and muscle weakness. Inflammation in the brain may lead to meningitis or cognitive defects, such as impaired memory. Rarely, infection can cause irregular heartbeats. Some patients may also have multiple ring-shaped secondary skin lesions.
If left untreated, the late stage, stage 3, begins months to years after the initial infection. The most common feature is joint pain, or Lyme arthritis. Patients may also present with aseptic meningitis, Bell’s palsy, nerve pain, or cognitive deficits. Some patients may be misdiagnosed as having fibromyalgia.
Diagnosis is based on symptoms, especially the characteristic rash, history of a tick bite, and lab tests for antibodies against the bacteria, which are positive a few weeks after the bite. However, diagnosis can be difficult as many patients do not recall having a tick bite or a rash.
In most cases, Lyme disease can be treated successfully with 2 weeks of oral antibiotics. Patients with neurological symptoms may require intravenous antibiotics and a longer treatment course. The earlier the treatment begins, the higher the chance of full recovery.
A small number of patients may have symptoms that last for months after they finish treatment. This condition is called post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome, PTLDS, and is likely caused by an autoimmune response triggered by the bacteria rather than the infection itself. Additional antibiotic treatments are not useful, but patients with PTLDS usually recover slowly over time.
Days after having the bullseye, the bottom of my feet turned blackish purple. Undiagnosed for 20 years. 30 years later, I still suffer from the fallout of this disease. I have never completely recovered. My vital organs and brain have never fully recovered. I liken it to a tornados aftermath. My body was devastated. Food has become my enemy because of the allergies I aquired from Lymes. The silent pandemic....😢
thank you, its a faster growing infectious disease larger then cancer and hiv combined and we are being silinced....please help us.
YES, PLEASE!!!
Yes !!!
Thank you 💙
Thanks, your video is always in a very good topic, keep making such videos😊😊
Subscribe this channel for latest Medical Lectures
thank you so much😊
Wow! It's awesome 👌 👏 😎 I love it ❤
I had Lyme arthritis it hurt like hell but was gone with a couple days worth of antibiotics
Please do a video on periods and how to manage period pains
I might be able to help ive had lymes for 18 years and when it hits neurological every time i have my period the pain and neurological affects gets worse. I bet you this is commen for this illness. We are not alone. This is not in your head this happens to women with lymes. Take care and know your not alone and crazy, this is what happens to women with lymes, your period agrovates symptoms and its horriable. I understand.
Midol, I get terrible pain every month since I found about the pill I am managing well
This is cool! My uncle had Lyme disease and my aunt‘s niece (a niece on the other side of the family) has it
Y when I was little I had no idea I had gotten a tick bite. My knee started getting a rash and it go swollen, it hurt whenever I walked. I Never really knew why it happened do thank you for this ❤
My daughter got that bullseye rash when she was a toddler. I never saw any tics on her 😰
I have a tic phobia!
Did she get a vaccine at that time?
Is there any circumstances where the patients would have life long effects from Lyme disease?
If not treated, yes.
Yeah most do
@@jordaneglis7380 Not Most. It happens … but seldom
Millions of people have long term effects from lyme, the NIH just acknowledged you can be born with it. If you would like to know more there's a documentary you watch called 'Under Our Skin' & 'The Monster Inside Me.'
YES! LOTS of people have lasting effects. It's horrible! 5 years for me
I didnt know i was bit until about 6 months later. I had to have IV meds and now have an autoimmune as well. Lifetime symptoms.
It might take a few years to fully recover but it's not lifetime.
@@jb5631I’ve heard that if it’s severe enough and depending on the type of Lyme disease it can be lifelong. I also know of a child who became brain damaged and wheelchair bound due to getting it. It’s not a one size fits all, thing.
This does not resolve in certain patients like 300,000!
Long term Lyme is chronic Lyme disease but this video and other sources lessen the severity of symptoms to the word syndrome… 16 years and counting as 2 mri revealed spiroketes in my brain ( 20)% have reported this . Get a full tick borne blood panel every few months: insist on it : it’s your right for your health. You don’t want what me and thousands have: it goes to neurological crap even after doxy antibiotics- not ALL. But , lucky me 🤕.
I developed a classic bulls eye rash from a suspected tick bite, first i knew of it, my doctor prescribed 14 days worth of Amoxicilline, the rash was quite red for 7 days but nearing the end of the treatment it faded pretty quick. The Dr wasnt that concerned about me developing full blown Lyme disease, and I havent presented with any other symptoms, not all bulls eye rashes develop into the full blown disease. I work in the countryside, in hedges and trees and I'm ultra careful with protecting myself from biting insects, I always check my body too after work.
I've had PTLDS for 4 years now... I hate it so much
Oil of oregano supplements or in dropper form is effective
Need to update this info it’s out of date
what is there to update?
@@thepoles It's all over the United States and the world. You can transmit infection after a short latch on period, not 36 hours. Typically treated with longer than 2 weeks of antibiotics. Ticks can be sent to a lab to see if they are infected. Patients may need testing for borrellia and other co-infections.
My Lyme is poop with a Personality and a SL-thought about being with my Bert Oslo Rockheim.
This video seem like it was a little educational about it but when he said at the end additional antibody treatment is not necessary I’ve had it since 2008 and did not find out until 2015 and I’m still in treatment on and off actually it was treated very aggressively at first I had four different pick lines with IV antibiotics but that was after I was on the oral antibiotics for like a month and I could tell that they weren’t working anymore whatever they were doing that was the end of it and I talk to a friend of mine his girlfriend had it and she told me to get the IV antibiotics that was definitely a great thing to do it’s 2020 to 2021 thank 2020 I found out about the pots syndrome because all those years I’ve had it I never felt rested it was so hard to get out of bed and I would go to bed early I never felt rested and when I woke up in the morning it was so hard to get up and get out of bed late my drive wasn’t gone it was no joke and the medication is the treat pots syndrome are great but then I was still having problems and I’ll be on his doctor for a long time but kind of my fault because I would forget things to tell him when I should’ve put it in my notes I was prescribed this medication The name of it is a Coartem that treats malaria but it also treats the Babesia definite game changer gave me so much of my energy back it was crazy how much better I felt I see my line doctor at least every three months and I always keep it doesn’t prescribe it like that but I don’t take it anymore like you prescribed it because I don’t feel I need to but when he prescribes it and I feel I need it again I’ll probably take like two weeks of the antibiotics and I’ll just in from feeling better but the pots syndrome medication I see a pot specialist for that but my Lyme doctor is the one who found out I had it definite game changer that medication I have been through hell and back so if you wanna ask me anything I learned a lot by experience taking the medication‘s and I got a really good doctor he doesn’t treat me like he doesn’t dismiss dismiss me like anything I’ll tell him that’s going on he will prescribe me something to do with it and lotta doctors won’t treat you long-term antibiotics but I’m not saying you got to take the antibiotics 24 seven this disease is new like no other disease that has more side effects to the human body than any other disease so every few months I want to see him if I feel like I need to antibiotics I like a bottles of them but I have to see him to get the Coardem that I need because the first time I got it was December 2021 so I haven’t had it long enough to find out if I’m still gonna need it over the years to come or not because I started treatment in 2015 2022 2023 it’s been a long time and I’ve been through hell and back damn they’re dead from my wife while she was my girlfriend then I would not be here right now don’t listen to any doctor that tells you a few months of antibiotics and you’re cured you better not listen to him stuff and get in your brain you can get in your heart and kill you and there’s all kinds of other things luckily I have all I have the symptoms and other people have other problems it’s just crazy that a tick bite can do all this to some one shut up do not listen to any doctor that says a few months of antibiotics and you’re cured keep repeating myself but it makes me mad when I hear that because people are out here suffering and they get dismissed by these doctors that don’t care😱🙀🥵😳🤯🤯
coartem cured your post lyme desease sindrome? sorry for not understanding
Are u OK
I was bitten by a tic and I am ok I am not sick at all and I have got bit 3 times
•on my chin
•behind my ear
•(this was the worst one) on my eye lid (my eyes are fine now)
(By this I don't mean that lyme disease is fake I am just confused because I didn't get it)
1. The tick that bites you must be infected with the bacteria to give you Lyme disease. The chance that your tick is infected is very small, few percent at most.
2. The infected tick must attach to your body for 1-2 days in order to transmit enough bacteria to cause the disease. From the sites you got bit, it's pretty clear that the tick had not been attached for too long as you should have noticed it and removed it very soon.
3. Your immune system can also protect you. Not everyone who got the bacteria from infected ticks get sick.
Combining all the above factors, the chance that you get Lyme disease from those bites is pretty small.
Thank you
@@Alilamedicalmedia Actually you can have Lyme disease if tick has been in your skin only a few hours too. It is not common, but happens. Just as it happened with me.
I am recovering
One reason to take doxy. A CNS issue. Don't get it.
Well I’m good don’t get deer here in australia
You got everything else in Australia tho lol
WOW GOOD THING I got that tick off before it bit me in gym
Plz make in hindi language
There are Hindi subtitles, just switch it on!
@@Alilamedicalmedia ok
Thanks
You seem to know English enough why Hindi?
@@Alilamedicalmedia I have a question so you said taking antibiotics for a few months and then you should not take them anymore even though when you have symptoms years later ?
So justin bieber, avril Lavigne had a tick on thém for atleast 36hours?
Are they still suffering from the disease?
They use celebs to sell their lab create disease/vaccines
Lyme
So angry at the Swedish health system. No you dont have it. Now i have full set of it.
All these symptoms fits so well. No with Odd pain in the bones and nervs. Last week all shut down with full on pain in the muscles. Now ring bak on all my upper leg.
Trust your self not doctors. They dont know shit. They ask if i eat pain killers. Hell i never do that. Dont mean i am not in chronic pain.
He just forgot to mention that it’s a « man made » disease
Does anyone also had fibers coming out of its skin?
Totally wrong it does not take 36 hrs.
Def 24 hrs
Good one illuminate/freemasonry/Scientology church
Informative, but too boring. Sorry bud!
Does hypoxic therapy works for treating Lyme Disease?hand-pink-wavingface-blue-smilingface-red-droopy-eyesface-purple-crying
Has anyone experienced or knows if hypoxic therapy is an effective supportive exercise a for Chronic Lime disease? I'm curious about alternative treatments and their real-world outcomes. Any insights or personal experiences shared would be greatly appreciated!
