How To Treat Lyme Disease Using Apple Cider Vinegar

What is Lyme disease?

This is an infection of the blood which is spread by tick bites and was reported in early in Connecticut. Also referred to as Borrelia Burgdorferi bacteria; it derives its name Borreliosis and apple cider vinegar has been known to treat the basic symptoms of this disease by killing its bacteria.
Causes of Lyme disease:

Lyme disease is known to be caused by ticks found in deer; thus they are the main carriers. Once an infected tick bites you, the bacterium enters the bloodstream. It should be noted that not all tick bites lead to Lyme disease. You should though be weary if interacting with a wild deer without proper tick protection in place. Once the bacterium enters your bloodstream it takes time before full blown symptoms start to appear.

How to diagnose Lyme disease:

Once the tick bites you, you get a red swelling at the bite site which is also known as erythema migrans which is a clear indication of an infection. Not all victims experience this swelling, in actual fact, only half the population shows the swelling and this becomes a challenge in diagnosing Lyme disease. On the other hand, chances of detecting the tick might be nil as it detaches itself from your skin immediately after the bite. The easiest method of diagnosing the disease is through blood test or scans which positively identifies the presence of any bacteria antibodies in the blood.

What are Lyme disease symptoms?

Once you are bitten once, the first swelling appears followed by smaller skin rashes on various body parts. The bacteria releases toxins in to the bloodstream thus more symptoms start appearing. Some of these symptoms include flu like symptoms and joint pains. As the aliment advances, neurological complicated symptoms like losing memory, fatigue, abnormal heart beat, insomnia, body numbness, meningitis, and Bell’s palsy among others. If these symptoms are left untreated, they might lead to severe neurological underlying conditions as well as complete loss of mobility.
