May is World Lyme Disease Month
Time to raise awareness of a disease contracted by more than 25,000 people in 2015. Rates of Lyme disease continue to rise. Protect yourself and your loved ones from this painful bacterial infection, and read up on key facts, and how to prevent it. What Is Lyme Disease?
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Lyme disease is a bacterial infection caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi. The bacteria is transmitted to humans through infected black-legged tick bites.
Ticks lay in wait for a human or animal host while resting on the tips of grasses and shrubs. Although they can attack anywhere on the body, their favorite places to attach are in areas such as the groin, armpits, and scalp. Early symptoms of Lyme disease may include fever, chills, headache, fatigue, muscle and joint aches, and swollen lymph nodes.
Thankfully, most cases of Lyme disease can be treated successfully with a few weeks of antibiotics or naturally with supplements like garlic, a known antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral agent.

However, if the infection is left untreated, it can develop into more serious symptoms such as arthritis with severe joint pain and swelling, particularly the knees and other large joints, and facial palsy where you may experience a droopiness on the face, according to the CDC. Prevention The main route of exposure to the Lyme disease bacteria is through ticks, therefore, the best route of prevention is preventing tick bites. This can be done by avoiding wooded areas with especially high grass or large amounts of leaf litter.
Use repellents and wear long socks or pants when walking through wooded areas to prevent ticks from attaching. Search yourself and your loved ones for ticks after you have been in tick-infested areas, such as hiking through the woods, and take a shower or bath after returning from wooded areas, as this can not only wash away newly lodged ticks and make them easier to spot. Last but not least, put clothing in the dryer after washing to ensure that you’ve completely killed or dislodged any ticks that may have caught a ride on your clothing.
