Hello everyone, I have some information about Lyme Disease with Deer Ticks to share:
The full article is on our site as well:
Lyme Disease can affect animals and humans, and when left untreated can become debilitating and very serious indeed. The fact that humans are unlikely to realize they have been bitten, and that symptoms can not only take a little time to incubate, but can also be easily confused with other conditions, means that Lyme Disease can be hard to diagnose by healthcare professionals.
For that reason, it is important to recognize the symptoms of deer tick bites. Tell your doctor that you have been out and about in a wooded or grassy area recently. Symptom and disease awareness is vital when not only recognizing Lyme Disease, but also to treat it before it becomes extremely serious.
Lyme Disease can be treated easily with a strong course of antibiotics, if it is recognized early and treated accordingly. If the condition isn’t diagnosed, the disease may quickly incubate and spread, affecting the heart and nervous system.
If a person has already suffered a weakness in these areas of their body, they are even more susceptible to complications. The fact that Lyme Disease is discussed in healthcare circles so much these days, should tell you a lot about its seriousness, and the importance of being symptom and risk aware.
The main symptoms of Lyme Disease, as we mentioned, can be confused with other conditions, but overall you should be on the look out for:
- A gradual fever which can spike suddenly and be prolonged
- A headache that is either prolonged, or increases in intensity Fatigue and a feeling of no energy whatsoever
- A rash, which can occur anywhere on the body
While the fever, headache and fatigue are likely to point to many different conditions, the rash is often the tell tale symptom which leads to a diagnosis of Lyme Disease. Be sure to advise your healthcare professional about your ventures out into the wilderness.
This may help speed up a diagnosis, therefore making the disease much less serious for you.
