Also, you should avoid tick infested areas. You can use chemical repellant to protect yourself. Also, if you go into the woods or any tick infested areas check yourself for ticks.

Ticks can latch onto any part of your body, but the most common spots that you find a tick is in the spots hardest to check, like your armpits, behind your ears, and your scalp. The tick has to be attached for 24-48 hours to actually transmit Lyme disease- so if you find a tick on you that just showed up five minutes ago, don't worry. While most people would think that it's most common to get bit by an adult tick, it's actually the immature ticks called Nymphs that are very tiny that usually transmit Lyme Disease. -Josephine Wallace]]> 2021-11-05 15:54:48 UTC https://padlet.com/mdrinkwater2/Unit2LymeDisease/wish/1870311171 How sick can you get from Lyme Disease? https://padlet.com/mdrinkwater2/Unit2LymeDisease/wish/1870311578 In the early stage, you won't get that sick, but as you get into the late stage and chronic stage it gets more serious.

Yes, Lyme disease can spread through your whole body. It starts wherever the tick bites you, and then travels through your blood flow all over your body. After a little while it goes into hiding and hides in your tissue anywhere in the body, then after your immune system becomes vulnerable it comes out and spreads all over your body. It also spreads throughout all of your systems and goes through every part of your body.]]> 2021-11-05 16:24:17 UTC https://padlet.com/mdrinkwater2/Unit2LymeDisease/wish/1870375714 Do you cough and sneeze or have a runny nose when you have Lyme Disease? https://padlet.com/mdrinkwater2/Unit2LymeDisease/wish/1870377401 Flu-like symptoms such as fever, headache, muscle and joint aches are symptoms of Lyme Disease, but cough, sore throat and runny nose are not symptoms of Lyme disease.

The western blot test, tests to see if you have any of the 10 common antibodies of lyme, if you have at least 3 you are diagnosed with lyme. This test isn't always accurate, because lyme can hide itself in its own saliva, and the immune system is not alerted to it, so no antibodies would be produced.

On the other hand, chronic Lyme Disease's symptoms are more severe and affect your day-to-day life. It's also harder to treat with antibiotics because of how much the bacteria has spread throughout your body and created protective mechanisms against medication. -Grace & Yu Qian]]> 2021-12-13 14:22:07 UTC https://padlet.com/mdrinkwater2/Unit2LymeDisease/wish/1944608286 Why are some ways to treat chronic Lyme Disease? mdrinkwater2 https://padlet.com/mdrinkwater2/Unit2LymeDisease/wish/1944623712 Some ways to treat chronic Lyme are, Antibiotics but they may cause more damage than good.
