Lyme disease is an infection caused by a spirochete (say “SPY-ROH-KEET”) that humans can get from the bite of an infected deer tick. The spirochete's scientific name is Borrelia burgdorferi. Lyme disease is called “The Great Imitator” because its symptoms mimic many other diseases. It can affect any organ of the body, including the brain and nervous system, muscles and joints, and the heart. How do people get Lyme disease? People usually get Lyme disease from ticks infected with Lyme spirochetes. Most human cases are caused by the nymphal, or immature, form of the tick. Nymphs are about the size of a poppy seed. Because their bite is painless, many people do not realize they have been bitten. If you think you might have Lyme Disease

Share Lyme Disease: Overview Also known as tick-borne borreliosis or Lyme arthritis , Lyme disease is caused by the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi , which is transmitted by the Ixodes tick. Lyme disease may cause symptoms affecting the skin, nervous system , heart and/or joints. Lyme disease is most common in the Northeast and mid-Atlantic states. Not all deer ticks are infected with the bacteria that causes Lyme disease. Ticks can become infected if they feed on small animals that are infected. The disease can be spread when a tick infected with the bacteria bites a person and stays attached for a period of time. Person-to-person spread of Lyme disease does not occur. Lyme disease can affect people of any age. 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. Deer ticks in the nymphal stage 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 in mid to late fall. The risk of exposure to infected deer ticks may be statewide. Early symptoms may develop within a week to a few months of the tick bite. In about half of these cases a large, reddish rash about 2 inches in diameter appears and expands around or near the site of the bite. Sometimes multiple rash sites appear. Other symptoms, such as fever, headache, fatigue, stiff neck, muscle and/or joint pain, may develop. If left untreated, within a few weeks to months, complications, such as meningitis, facial palsy, or heart abnormalities may occur. Later symptoms may develop in people who did not have early symptoms or did not recognize them. Swelling and pain in the large joints may recur over many years. It is believed that re-infection is possible i.e. having it once does not provide full

Many people using the lyme salt vitamin c protocol have gotten there life back. This is not an over night get well protocol. But then again what is? When using the Lyme salt vitamin c protocol there are a few very important things to keep in mind. Its very important to use a unrefined natural salt like Himalayan salt, real salt, celtic salt. A good quality Vitamin C. There are great many good quality brands both in health food stores and online. Most convenient are the 1 gram (1000 mg) tablets or capsules as it makes measurements easier. For those with tender tummies, buffered forms are preferred with Ester C ranking at the top. For Mixture Method, powdered or crystal forms are easier for mixing. A good Vitamin C that I like that is non-acidic, gentle to the digestive system and highly absorbable is Advan-C.
