Lyme Disease

‍Mitogenesis offers comprehensive care and education on Lyme disease, a bacterial infection caused by Borrelia transmitted through tick bites. Learn about preventive measures and holistic treatment approaches to manage Lyme disease effectively.

Understanding Lyme Disease

Lyme disease is prevalent in wooded and grassy areas, with ticks carrying Borrelia bacteria responsible for transmission. The disease can manifest in stages, with symptoms ranging from mild to severe, affecting various bodily systems.

Symptoms and Stages

Tick bites can initially resemble mosquito bites, often going unnoticed. Early signs of Lyme disease may include:

Distinctive rash resembling a target, accompanied by fever, headache, fatigue, and muscle aches.
As the disease progresses, symptoms intensify, potentially leading to joint inflammation, irregular heartbeats, and skin abnormalities.
Late-stage Lyme disease can result in persistent joint issues and other complications.

Risks and Complications

Deer ticks, common in certain regions of the United States and Europe, pose a risk of Lyme disease transmission. Preventive measures, such as using tick repellents, wearing protective clothing, and conducting thorough tick checks, are crucial for minimizing exposure. Additionally, post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome (PTLDS) may occur, leading to ongoing symptoms like:

Arthritis
Body aches
Fatigue
Memory issues

Holistic Treatment Approaches

Treatment for Lyme disease typically involves antibiotics and symptom management. Holistic approaches, including IV therapy, oxygenating therapies, photodynamic therapy, and immune support, play a vital role in improving overall health, managing persistent symptoms, and aid in recovery.

Preventive Measures

Protect yourself from Lyme disease by following these preventive steps when outdoors, especially in grassy or wooded areas:

Dress for protection: Wear light-coloured clothes, long sleeves, and long pants tucked into socks. Avoid open-toed shoes.
Check for ticks: Shower after being outdoors and inspect your body for ticks, especially in hidden areas like underarms and hair. Check your clothes and gear, too.
Additional Tips: Inspect outdoor pets daily, stick to clear paths in grassy areas, and dry outdoor clothes in a hot dryer to kill ticks.
