Lyme disease, or lyme borreliosis,[1] is an emerging infectious disease
caused by at least three species of bacteria belonging to the genus
Borrelia.[2] Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato[3] is the main cause of Lyme
disease in the United States, whereas Borrelia afzelii and Borrelia garinii
cause most European cases. The disease is named after the town of Lyme,
Connecticut, USA, where a number of cases were identified in 1975. Although
Allen Steere realized in 1978 that Lyme di |

有手指甲那么大，不太可能在它脱落之前都不察觉。google一下看看你发现的虫子到底
是不是tick。
tick有可能携带细菌（Lyme disease）也可能携带病毒（Borrelia），不及时治疗后果
很严重。被携带细菌的tick咬了之后皮肤会出现红色圆环，逐渐扩大，只要及时用抗生
素治疗不会有什么问题，市场上的疫苗就是针对这个的。被携带病毒的咬了也很吓人，
侵害到神经系统能造成很严重的后果，但是及时治疗也能治好，可能潜伏期很长，很长
时间都没有很明显的症状，真的被咬了自己要心里有数。 |

发帖数: 100 | 3 The LD spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi, infects other species of ticks but
is known to be transmitted to humans and other animals only by the deer tick
(also known as the black-legged tick) and the related Western black-legged
tick. Studies have shown that an infected tick normally cannot begin
transmitting the spirochete until it has been attached to its host about 36-
48 hours; the best line of defense against LD, therefore, is to examine
yourself at least once daily and remove any ticks befo |

微生物不是病毒。 |

也许今年夏天我们在户外活动的时间比往年多，父母来这里探亲，一起种菜、打枪什么
的，已经好几次在身上发现 tick（蜱） 了，小小芝麻粒大小，沿着腿往身上爬，不过
都在头扎进去吸血前及时发现，捉住捏死。这还是在穿长袜包住裤脚、戴帽子、全身喷
露营用的那种防蚊虫叮咬剂的情况下呢。
可惜老妈就没那么幸运了，被一个 tick 在后腰处吸血了好几天才发现，都涨的黄豆粒
大了，才让我看。之前我妈以为是长了个痦子，也没觉得疼或痒，就没管它（他们刚来
，我和老公就花了很长时间向他们说明tick的长相和危害，看来还是没当回事儿）。
当时把我吓得啊，和老公两个人用镊子小心翼翼半天，还是没全拔出来，留了个刺儿在
里面。第二天，看伤口有可疑的红圈痕迹，更加心慌，马上带去医院，医生一看，说是
Lyme disease, 给开了药，吃两个星期，这期间不能见太阳光，否则会引起全身红肿。
老妈到是什么症状都没有，没有呕吐发烧或... 阅读全帖 |

发帖数: 12216 | 8 还有两篇我觉得比较对我们适用的，我就直接总结一下了。不一点点儿打上来了。有感
兴趣的可以联系我，我给你们scan。
A New Tick Disease: 这篇说的是近期刚刚发现了一种新的deer tick传染的疾病。在
一个80多岁的老太太身上确诊的。Over 4 months, she had experienced progressive
mental decline, becoming increasingly confused. Her gait grew wobbly, and
she didn't have much of an appetite. 这个细菌的名字是 Borrelia miyamotoi（日
本last name有木有，因为是1995年第一次在日本tick上发现的）。这种细菌跟造成
lyme disease的细菌很相近。在美国东北lyme disease比较普遍，可能B. miyamotoi被
underestimate了。现在大家再争论whether a person can test negative for Lyme
and still have L... 阅读全帖 |
