Beginning with the first occurrences in the village of Lyme, Connecticut in the 70s, to the identification of the virus in the mid 80s, to the unmasking of borreliosis as a true epidemic and the reason behind widespread ailments such as rheumatism, nerve paralysis and heart diseases in the 90s.Next to the Malaria-carrying mosquito, the tick is the most dangerous animal carrier of diseases worldwide. But unlike the mosquito, the dangers carried by ticks are extremely complex. Doctors have only recently discovered the extent of the real threat posed by these bloodsuckers, these tiny vampires. They carry viruses, bacteria, and one-celled animals or nematodes. At least ten diseases have their main or even sole origin brought on by ticks. Some of the bacteria (Borrelia, Rickets, Ehrlichien) have adapted to the life cycle of the tick during the cause of evolution.

Die Lyme-Borreliose oder Lyme-Krankheit ist eine Infektionskrankheit, die durch das Bakterium Borrelia burgdorferi aus der Gruppe der Spirochäten ausgelöst wird. Die Borrelien ziehen sich schon bald nach der Infektion aus dem Blutkreislauf in das Gewebe zurück. Es kann jedes Organ, das Nervensystem, die Gelenke und das Gewebe befallen werden. Deshalb spricht man bei dieser Erkrankung auch von einer multisystemischen Krankheit. Die Erkrankung kommt beim Menschen und allen anderen Säugetieren sowie Vögeln vor. Die Übertragung erfolgt vor allem durch den Holzbock oder eine Zeckenart.

English: People who spend time in grassy and wooded environments are at an increased risk of exposure. The chances of being bitten by a deer tick are greater during times of the year when ticks are most active. Young deer ticks, called nymphs, are active from mid-May to mid-August and are about the size of poppy seeds. Adult ticks, which are approximately the size of sesame seeds, are most active from March to mid-May and from mid-August to November. Both nymphs and adults can transmit Lyme disease. Ticks can be active any time the temperature is above freezing. The disease can be spread when an infected tick bites a person and stays attached for a period of time. In most cases, the tick must be attached for 36 hours or more before the bacteria can be transmitted. Lyme disease does not spread from one person to another.

With the warm season arriving, ticks are out in full force. These blood suckers are responsible for a great deal of suffering. Despite what ads and the media tell you, DEET sprays such as OFF are useless against ticks. Your best defense is using a Permethrin spray. Permethrin is a natural insecticide. When sprayed to clothes, it remains effective for a month or more. Repel Permaone is the best treatment. When ticks crawl onto treated clothing, they die before they get a chance to attach.
The main ticks to be concerned with here are the tiny brown deer tick, and the larger, red spotted Lonestar Tick. Both carry disease. Almost half of deer ticks carry the bacteria that causes Lyme disease. The Lonestar Tick can carry Lyme or Rocky Mountain Fever.
These tiny parasites have caused a great deal of trouble in people’s lives. Several users here have shared their stories of what Lyme disease is like. It can ruin your life. It doesn’t always go away, and can remain chronic.
Which is why prevention is the most important thing. When you’ve in the woods, park, or just near the woods, you may come in contact with ticks, lying in wait in grass, brush, or tree branches.
Make sure you cover all your skin below your waist, and treat your pants, socks, and shoes with Permethrin. Check yourself for ticks when you get home. Prompty remove any attached ticks.
People need to take ticks seriously. They may be small, but a bite from one of these bloodsuckers can make you real sick.

http://www.therenegadehealthshow.com – This is a big question for anyone who comes up with a rash the size of Connecticut around a tick bite…

When I first saw the rash from the tick bite (I had pulled the deer tick off my leg about 3 days earlier), I knew what it was. Since I had already done research into treatments for Lyme disease in the past, I knew what the likely treatment would be as well.

I’m a (very) strong proponent of natural treatments, so I called and emailed a few experts that I know to see what they would recommend for natural Lyme disease treatment. I was not surprised to hear what they said.

Go ahead and watch to find out…

Lyme disease — it has become epidemic on Long Island and much of the New
York Metropolitan Area, indeed across the United States. But as bad as the
illness has become, so has treatment for it — health insurers have
discouraged long-term treatment for what is often a long-term illness.
Suffolk County Long Island Legislator Edward Romaine recently held a
public meeting on Lyme disease.
Eva Haughie, President, Empire State Lyme Disease Association. She has
had Lyme disease for nearly 20 years. Her association is based in Manorville.
Dr. Joseph Burrascano, East Hampton, New York He is a pioneer in the
treatment of Lyme disease. And because of the push by medical insurers to
only cover short-term treatment — two, three or four weeks of antibiotics
– and Dr. Burrascano having developed a protocol for treating the many
people who are not cured in the short-term but have chronic Lyme disease,
he ended up being attacked. But he came through it and is regarded as a
major leader in the field.
Staci Grodin, Co-Founder and President, Turn the Corner Foundation. A
Lyme Diseases victim, her Turn the Corner Foundation has raised over $2
million and funded important Lyme disease research.
Sandy Berenbaum, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Brewster, New York. She
has specialized with working with those with chronic Lyme disease. Her
accounts were most poignant, and her explanation of why health
insurers balk at providing compensation for long-term treatment most illuminating.
Diane Blanchard, President, Time for Lyme. A former resident of Westhampton, where she and members of her family contracted Lyme disease, she presently lives in Greenwich, Connectcut. Her organization, Time for Lyme, focuses on education and research.
Suffolk County Health Commissioner Dr. Humayan Chaudhry. confirms how Lyme disease has become “endemic”.
Suffolk County Legislator Edward Romaine
New York State Assemblyman Fred W. Thiele, Jr., Sag Harbor, New York who
talks about the bill he has before the New York State Assembly requiring
health insurers to provide compensation for long-term treatment of Lyme
diseases — a measure that has been bottled up in Albany.
Shelter Island Town Supervisor Alfred Kilb, Jr. Shelter Island has long
been a particular hotspot for Lyme disease and Kilb describes Shelter
Islanders he knows with chronic cases of the disease.
