Lyme Disease and Newburyport Tick Control

Newburyport physician, Dr. Mark Su, is one of the few doctors to still make house calls. He also considers himself to be a Lyme Literate MD (LLMD).  This means he takes a very open-minded professional and holistic approach to both diagnosing and treating Lyme Disease.

According to his webpage titled TICS (Tickborne Infections Consulting Services), Lyme Disease can present itself “in conjunction with” other tick-borne illnesses, such as bartonella, babesia, and ehrlichia/anaplasma. These added complications serve to remind us that we need to take self care, which includes daily tick checks and tick control measures, seriously.

We also need to pay close attention to the symptoms of Lyme Disease, since early detection and treatment can lead to a much quicker recovery time. As stated by the CDC, symptoms of Lyme Disease, like other encephalitis-type illnesses, include headache, fever, and general body aches.

For nearly 70% of all diagnosed, confirmed cases of Lyme Disease, a bulls-eye rash develops within a week of being bitten. In early stages, Lyme Disease is highly treatable with a course of strong antibiotics. Left untreated; however, Lyme Disease can progress and cause severe joint and neurological pain. In very rare cases, death occurs. The CDC further estimates that there are actually 10x more cases of Lyme Disease than reported, due to so many people not going in for treatment or simply being misdiagnosed.

The Wall Street Journal’s research shows an even scarier statistic: more than half of all Americans do nothing to stop tick bites. This puts you, your family, and your friends at risk of a whole host of painful illnesses. Prevention, by way of tick control and daily tick checks, are by far the easiest way to have a more enjoyable summer season.
