Lyme disease is a growing health concern in the United States . It
can cost the country up to $1.3 billion dollars a year to treat. Health Briefs TV explains some common facts
about Lyme disease.
Someone can get Lyme disease from a tick bite. Ticks can
come from pets that haven’t been treated for them. Ticks bites can also come
from being outdoors.
To protect yourself from ticks, swear latex gloves when
treating pets and use tweezers instead of fingernails to remove from pets and
human skin.
If the signature target shaped rash appears, please visit a
physician as soon as possible. There are treatments for it and there are
certain doctors who know more about it than others. Lyme disease symptoms can
reoccur. This is called post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome of PTLDS. Patients
can feel fatigued, have nerve pain. Join pain, memory and thinking problems.
And they are more than 5 times as likely to be diagnosed with extreme fatigue. The Health Briefs TV show learns that there
are an estimated 240,000 to 440,000 new cases of Lyme disease diagnosed every
year.
Lyme disease can make a normal, active and lively person
feel lethargic, despondent and hopeless. But there are treatments for it.
Finding the best doctor to help you or someone you know with Lyme disease is
imperative. Research local doctors online or through health care plans with
experience in working with people diagnosed with Lyme disease.
