It is an illness caused by or an infectious microbe that can be transmitted to people by biting insects. Arthropod (insects) arachnids (spiders or others with 8 legs) are those which most commonly serve as vectors as listed below:
- Blood sucking insects such as, fleas, lice, biting flies, mosquitoes, and bugs, and
- arachnids such as ticks, mites, and spiders.
The term “vector” refers to any arthropod that transmits a disease through insect feeding activity. Lyme is not a only vector-borne disease but can be easily passed person to person, pets, and others by contact.
All diseases have different symptoms, some mimic others. Unless we can eliminate different factors and get to the source of the problem, we are just treating the symptoms. The symptoms may very well not be the cause or what created the illness. In reality, several people can have the same issue that caused the illness but affect them in different ways.
The main reason for so many symptoms is that these bacteria’s set up their colonies (breeding homes) in the weakest points or parts in each body they invade.
Blood test are usually run for people with not knowing the real cause of the illness, just mimicking the symptoms.
Reasons for not knowing what has created your symptoms is that there are three forms of Borrelia burgdorferi, the spirochete that creates and causes the Lyme Disease.
The Spirochete can hide in your body for many years without being noticed and suddenly causes trouble after some stressful event, or unexpected exposure to some chemicals causing an imbalance in your body chemistry. This can stimulate their movement and invading other territory. This creates different symptoms.
It can change back and forth between 3 different forms, making it difficult to diagnosis because it looks like three dissimilar organisms. It wears different hats and has many disguises.
The three forms of spirochetes are:
- Spiral Shape – like a corkscrew or tiny snake
- Cell Wall Deficient– means it does not have a cell wall in this stage. It is Jelly-like.
- Encysted or encapsulated in a shell – it can form a cover around itself impervious to antibiotics.
It is a smart bug and has the capability to hide for years, it acts like it has a consciousness, forming colonies and knowing to disguise itself to avoid the being killed by medications.
Borrelia is a genus of bacteria of the spirochete family. Borrelia has a good transportation system, both forward and backwards, where they can quickly travel all over the body. They are more able to settle in different areas with colonies, where other bacteria are non-motile.
People having new joints put in their knees or hips probably have Lyme disease. Kill the bacteria and the body can rebuild the Cartlidge and the damage caused by the bacteria.
Lyme Disease Is or is Not Contagious?
If you believe that Lyme disease is not contagious you are not alone in thinking that, but you could be wrong and here is why!
There has been no evidence until now to prove that Lyme disease can be transmitted through human to human contact. Currently it is a blood-borne disease reliant on third-party vectors for transmission. WRONG
Therefore, it is not considered to be contagious via direct contact. This means that Lyme disease cannot be transferred through kissing, touching or sexual intercourse. WRONG
The truth is there is evidence that what you are taught to believe is wrong. Lyme disease can and is transferred to humans through pets, any biting insect and close contact to any person, including anyone’s body fluid from a person who has it. Commonly known ticks can infect a person or animal, which in turn can then infect another animal or human through body fluids.
If you sneeze, cough, kiss, have sexual contact, hold an infected cat, dog or animal that is infected, you may have a chance of contacting the disease.
Every person, or animal can show different symptoms, because no two hosts are the same. You may have had the disease for most of your life passing it on to others without your knowledge.
