Tick Borne Illnesses - Focus on Lyme
Part 2 - Tick Borne Illnesses - Coinfections
Lyme disease is the most commonly reported tick-borne infection (TBI) in the United States. Transmitted by the bite of a blacklegged tick, the number of cases appears to be increasing across the United States and throughout the world. Youth are especially vulnerable, with the highest incidence occurring among children between the ages of 5 to 14. A parent needs to know about the various types of TBI’s in our area as they often occur together (called “co-infections”) and can cause many different types of problems including, fever, headache joint pains, chronic fatigue, “brain fog,” attentional problems in school, mood shifts, new onset temper tantrums, etc.
This episode will be the first in a series discussing TBIs (e.g. Lyme, Babesiosis, Bartonellosis etc.) their prevention, symptoms, and approaches to treatment.
