What is really special with a Lyme disease infection is that the Borrelia spirochete is so hard to kill. This bacteria can stay in our body more than a decade.The answer why our immune system does not find it is because this bacteria is fooling our immune system totally.
There are around 10000 people that gets Lyme Disease every year in Sweden but that is the official number. The total amount can be as high as 30-50000 because every year because a lot of people do not get the characteristic Lyme disease symptoms or no symptoms at all. This means that a lot of people do not go to the doctor to get treatment until sometime in the future when they get symptoms that might mimic other diseases.
I
have put together this homepage with information about ticks, how the
bacteria and the tick cooperate, Lyme disease treatment and a lot
more. I am not a doctor so everything on this homepage is linked to
other pages so you can read and study this subject into more detail.
Everything on this homepage is only for information and I am not
guaranteeing that this information is correct. Please find a good
doctor to guarantee that you will get help and treatment if you
suffer from Lyme Disease.
You will also find the standard treatment that you will get from a doctor in Sweden and another form of treatment abroad. You will also find addresses to doctors abroad that can give you treatment that you will not find in Sweden or maybe in your home country. There are two schools how to treat Lyme disease one with a short term(around 20 days) antibiotic treatment and the other with long term antibiotic treatment up to 1 to 2 years. A lot of people can not handle antibiotic treatment for such a long time so they try to treat themselves with an alternative treatment to get well. You will find all the information on this site so please start your journey how ticks and the borrelia bacteria will work together
