>What is a herx?? Subject: CS>Herx what ? From: Tai-Pan <[email protected]> Greetings Menhirs of the CS art, Whats a herx reaction? Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction: an increase in the symptoms of a spirochetal disease (as syphilis, Lyme diseaes, or relapsing fever) occurring in some persons when treatment with spirocheticidal drugs is started. Also called Herxheimer reaction. The symptoms that increase are chancres, rashes, and systemic lesions. These are skin disturbances. Jarisch: 1850-1902, Austrian dermatologist Herxheimer: 1861-1944, German dermatologist As loosely used slang word on silver-list: An increase in distressful symptoms caused by the dissolution of bacteria and viruses and resultant release of their toxins into the bloodstream. Called a herx or herx reaction. Alleviated by reducing dosage to lower levels and allowing the body more time to eliminate the toxins. This herx may occur with usage of any anti-microbal substance or drug.
