What is Lyme Disease? Is it true you can Lyme disease was first described in 1976 in Lyme, Conn. It is caused by a bacteria carried by the deer tick, a small tick about the size of a freckle. The disease appears to be spreading, and hasbeen reportedin concentrations in New England from north of Boston along the Massachusetts coast through southern Rhode Island, southem New York, and as far south as Virginia; also in mid- Wisconsin and Minnesota; and in the Pacific northwest, in Oregon and Washington. The disease has appeared sporadically in other countries as well. Thedisease usually strikes from May through August. Victims often are vacationers who have been in high grasses on beach dunes and in areas populated by deer. Lyme disease has flu-like symptoms at first. There can be fever, headaches and muscle pain. One month later, a rash may appear, but not everyone gets a rash. Usually children do not get it, whichis unfortunate because the rash is unique- looking and is a good clue as to whether you have the disease. The rash usually appears on the extremities, often the thigh, and often there is only one lesion, which gradually enlarges into a doughnut-like shape, red on the outside and clear on the inside. The lesion can get as large as one foot in diameter, and may burn or itch. If untreated, the disease can DR. ROBERT GREENHALGH PRESENTS progress to meningitis-like symptoms with head- aches, a stiff neck, sensitivity to bright light, and paralysis of facial nerves. Next may come such arthritic symptoms as joint pain and swelling. Finally, and rarely, there may be heart block, a condition manifested by palpitations of the heart, chest pain or fainting spells. Lyme diseaseis treatable at the rash stage with antibiotics, although doctors are currently deter- mining which antibiotics are most effective. Tet- racycline seems to be the best so far, but it cannot be given to children under seven because it stains their permanent teeth. The next best drug seems to be oral penicillin. For young children who are allergic to penicillin erythromycin has been used, but it doesn't appear to be very effective: Studies are now under way to find better treatments. You can protect yourself against Lyme dis- ease by taking a few precautions. The organism isn't found in sand or water, so you're safe if boating or swimming. But if you will be in high grass on sand dunes, or in brush or wooded areas populated by deer, wear a long-sleeve shirt, long pants, and tuck you pant cuffs into your socks. Wear light clothing so you can see the ticks and brush them off. Try to shower every day if you're in an endemic area, because even if the tick gets on your skin, it often doesn't attach itself right away. And if it is attached, it doesn't always transmit the bacteria immediately. You may be able to wash it off before there is any chance of infection.
