Re: Re:Lyme/tick SAVE the TICK!
UCONN does these tests: darkfield exam and Bb Fluorescent antibody test, and some type of culture. (Anyone can have these tests done if they mail the ticks in to the address in my other post; also available on my webpage http://www.freeyellow.com/members2/lyme-borreliosis (use the link to my old page until I get it switched over.) CT's free testing includes one that can be done on dead ticks; the name slips my mind; all I can think of is PCR. It is a test that looks for DNA I believe. -Original Message- From: Gary Grunau lando...@cstone.net To: silver-list@eskimo.com silver-list@eskimo.com Date: Tuesday, March 10, 1998 7:26 AM Subject: Re: Re:Lyme/tick SAVE the TICK!

Re: Re:Lyme/tick SAVE the TICK!
Such an early response has been associated with allergic reaction to the tick's saliva, not the lyme infection. That reaction can take several days to weeks to show up, and it might not show up at all if you, like me, are amongst the 30-50% infected who don't get an apparent rash. Taking the CS is an excellent idea. Should you get any Lyme symptoms at all, though, you ought to see a doctor. The CS or Lyme itself may not show up in a blood test, though, either, and your doctor may require a pos. test before he treats you. Your best bet would be to test the tick if at all possible. It's a big mistake to flush it down the toilet. That tick could be your only ticket to early treatment if it tests positive and you do not. Try to get your doctor to put you on 5 weeks of doxy or amoxycillin if possible. If not, continue self-medication and watch for symptoms. Go to http://www.lymenet.org and check Dr. Burrascano's protocol there (Managing Lyme Disease.) more specifically: http://www.lehigh.edu/lists/lymenet-l/overview.htm I have a personal page on Lyme too: http://www.freeyellow.com/members2/lyme-borreliosis that has lots of references.

Re:Lyme/tick
Deb, where were you that you got a tick this time a year? Or maybe it isn't snowing in your backyard. No one can tell you what to do. Do you already have Lyme? Always consult a physician when you are in doubt. Perhaps there is an infectious disease Dr. in your area that you could ask for help. the CS doesn't give you immunity to anything. Ticks are nasty little buggers and you might not have gotten the whole thing out--depending on how long it was there. In that case you need to go and have the head of it removed. If you have the tick you removed see if it is all there with a magnifying glass. Always smush ticks and flush them-they are much too hardy for us humans! Just suggestions. Life is Fragile.
