Everyone wishes to be in good health in order to work and achieve their goals. But it has been impossible for others to have good health due to some certain type of illnesses that is why hospitals have been built to help such people. There are some illnesses that are so serious that make the affected person become weak and depend on medication while some illness are not that serious.

Lyme is known to be a disease that is usually diagnosed from a tick bite. The ailment is said to be bacterial and also affects some animals like dogs. People who are likely to get this illness are the ones who live or spend time with animals infested with the ticks.

Signs and symptoms of Lyme in humans are flu- the infected is like to be fatigued, get chills, body aches and fever. Another symptom is rashes- the infected person gets a red rash which after some days becomes like a bull eye though the rash is not painful. These are the signs and symptoms in the early stages.

The later symptoms of this disease are joint pains, heart aches, swollen glands, brain damages and many other problems. It can also affect the nerve system and cause kidney failure. This later symptoms only occur if the infected person does not seek immediate medical attention.

It is also important to note that Lyme is not contagious. Health providers diagnose the illness when a person has the red rash especially people who live in areas mostly infested by ticks. The antibodies of the infected person may give false results as the antibodies may resist the illness for years so health providers do not take blood test at the early stages of these illnesses.

Treatment of this illness is simply by using antibiotics. Additional medicines may be given to relief pain in the joints and other areas that may be painful. This disease can also be treated naturally without using drugs. The option is of the patient.

Human beings can also get Lyme through rodents as they are known to be carriers of the ticks which are harmless to them. People can also get them when they stand unknowingly in grasses where the ticks are. The age group that is most affected the disease are children between the ages of five to fourteen and older people between the ages of forty to forty nine.

It is not a must for one to live in an area infested with ticks to get Lyme. A person might get it through rodents or standing unknowingly where the ticks are. To ensure that one does not get the illness it recommended for them to get vaccinated along with their animals and if a person suspects to have the disease they should seek immediate medical attention instead of waiting for it to reach severe stages. Good health is just as important as seeing a new day that is why we need to stay healthy.
