Overview

 

Lyme disease is an infection that derives from a tick bite. The disease has a variety of symptoms, including changes affecting the skin, heart, joints and nervous system. It is also known as borrelia or borreliosis.




Causes

 

Lyme disease is caused by an infection from a micro-organism (Borrelia burghdor feri), itself transmitted by a bite from the wood tick, a blood-sucking parasite which normally lives on deer.

The wood tick is found in many areas, particularly in forests where deer are common. A tick will settle anywhere on a human body, but prefers warm, moist and dark places like the crotch or armpits.

When the tick has found a suitable place on the body, it sticks in its probe to draw up blood, exposing the host to the risk of infection.

 



Symptoms

 

Simply seeing a tick somewhere on your body does not mean that you have contracted Lyme disease . Unfortunately, not everyone knows when they have been bitten, so consult your GP if you detect the following symptoms.

  • A red spot around the location of the tick's bite. The spot will gradually grow bigger, often with a pale area in the middle. This symptom is called erythema migrans.
  • Erythema migrans can also appear at other places on the body where the tick has not bitten. Some people get many red spots.
  • Usually one to four weeks will pass between the bite and when erythema migrans appearsde

Some patients with Lyme disease feel like they have caught influenza - the symptoms may be:

  • drowsiness
  • headaches
  • mild fever
  • joint and muscle pains
  • swollen lymph glands.


Risk Factors

 
During an addisonian crisis, low blood pressure, low blood glucose, and high levels of potassium can be life threatening.
