#Bartonella & #Tooth #Decay
It’s NOT just “bad hygiene”
Most people are told cavities = sugar + brushing habits.
But what if your teeth are literally being damaged from the inside out?
Bartonella is a vascular infection
It infects the lining of your blood vessels (endothelium) and disrupts blood flow.
Now let’s talk about the maxillary artery…
This artery supplies blood, oxygen, and nutrients to your:
Teeth#Gums#Jawbone
When Bartonella inflames and damages these vessels:
Blood flow becomes restricted Oxygen delivery drops Waste removal is impaired
Result?
Your teeth and gums are slowly starved at a cellular level. What happens inside the tooth?
Enamel weakensDentin breaks down fasterPoor healing after dental workIncreased risk of decay, fractures, and infections
Borrelia (#Lyme)
●Disrupts collagen which weakens tooth structure
●Alters immune response causing poor healing #Babesia
● Reduces oxygen delivery (infects red blood cells)
●Creates a hypoxic (low oxygen) environment which in turn accelerates decay Together, these infections create the perfect storm for rapid dental destruction.
Testing Limitations
• Bartonella is often a clinical diagnosis by an ILADS trained Physician
ILADS = International Lyme and Associated Disease Society
• Standard blood tests have low sensitivity, are limited on what species they test for- and often false-negative
• Bacteria hide in tissues — not circulating in blood
• The current CDC two-tier Lyme disease testing is missing over 50% of actual positive cases.
A
lyme literate practitioner has access to more accurate blood testing..
yet no test is 100% and these infections are masters at evading the
immune system. A negative test does NOT mean no infectionSometimes it’s not a Dental Problem 
Its an Infection Problem
THE MYTH: "Freezing temperatures kill ticks. I'm safe until May."
You took advantage of a mild 55°F day to clear some brush.
You didn't bother with bug spray — the calendar says it's still winter.
But as you pull off your boots, you find a dark, flat shape anchored to your ankle.
You never felt a thing.
THE MYTH:
"Freezing temperatures kill ticks. I'm safe until May."
THE REALITY:
Winter doesn't kill ticks. It pauses them.
They wait under leaf litter for ONE trigger:
Temperature above 50°F.
WHY YOU DIDN'T FEEL IT:
A tick bite isn't a puncture — it's a biochemical procedure.
Their saliva contains:
- Anesthetics (numbs your skin)
- Antihistamines (prevents itching)
- Anticoagulants (keeps blood pooling)
- Immunosuppressants (shuts off your alarm bells)
You can't rely on an itch.
Visual inspection is your ONLY defense.
THE LONE STAR TICK:
- Historically confined to Southeast
- Now: As far north as Maine
- Identifying mark: White dot on back
- Unlike other ticks: ACTIVE HUNTER (crawls toward your CO2)
- Transmits: Alpha-gal Syndrome (lifelong meat allergy)
THE 50°F RULE:
Stop looking at the calendar.
Start looking at the thermometer.
No snow + 50°F = Active tick territory.
PROTECTION:
✓ Treat boots and pants with Permethrin
✓ Rake leaves away from lawn edges (3-foot barrier)
✓ Full body check after ANY outdoor work
✓ Check pets too
The cold doesn't kill them.
It just teaches them to wait.
Maladie de Lyme : l'enfer du diagnostic
En Franche-Comté, la maladie de Lyme frappe plus fort qu'ailleurs en France. Transmise par les tiques, elle laisse des familles entières dans l'errance médicale, entre symptômes invalidants et diagnostics incertains. Des malades se tournent vers l'Allemagne pour trouver des réponses, tandis que les spécialistes français alertent sur les risques des traitements prolongés. Au coeur de ce combat, le sénateur Jean-François Longeot, marqué par le calvaire d'un ami, se bat pour faire reconnaître cette maladie et accélérer la recherche.
After her Lyme diagnosis, Shania Twain wasn’t sure she would ever sing again.
After her Lyme diagnosis, Shania Twain wasn’t sure she would ever sing again.
The infection led to vocal cord nerve damage, leaving the iconic voice behind “You’re Still The One” and “Man! I Feel Like a Woman!” unstable and unpredictable. She has spoken openly about barely being able to control her sound — and fearing the stage might be behind her for good.
For an artist whose career was built on her voice, that’s devastating.
But she didn’t quit.
She underwent vocal surgery. She retrained her voice. She rebuilt her strength note by note. It wasn’t about sounding exactly like the late ’90s. It was about reclaiming what Lyme tried to steal.
Today, she’s doing well — back on stage, performing, and with new live events reportedly being planned as comeback buzz grows in the media.
Her story is powerful — but it’s just one example.
Lyme disease can present in many different ways. For some, it impacts the nervous system. For others, the joints, the heart, cognition, energy, or mental health. No two stories look exactly the same.
If you want to hear real patient journeys, recovery stories, and conversations with Lyme-literate doctors and leading researchers, listen to the Tick Boot Camp Podcast.
We share voices of resilience. We share hope. And we remind people that healing is possible — even when the path looks different for everyone.
Bartonella — a stealth, vascular, intracellular infection — can directly impact the skin.
CYSTIC ACNEwhat if it’s not just “hormones”?!
We are so quick to blame breakouts on puberty, stress, or diet… but deep, painful, cystic acne can be a sign of something much deeper going on inside the body.
#Bartonella — a stealth, vascular, intracellular infection — can directly impact the skin.
Here’s what’s happening:
Bartonella infects the lining of blood vessels (endothelium) Triggers chronic inflammation + immune dysregulationDisrupts normal skin healing and oil gland functionPromotes formation of painful, deep cystic lesionsCan cause streaks, rashes, and persistent “unexplained” skin issues
This isn’t surface-level acne…This is systemic inflammation showing up through your skin.
And here’s the part no one is talking about
Testing for Bartonella is VERY limited
Blood tests often come back negative even when infection is present Multiple species (henselae, quintana, etc.) are rarely all testedBartonella lives inside cells, making it hard to detect in bloodDiagnosis is often clinical - based on symptoms--not labs (by and ILADS trained Physician)So people get told:
“It’s just #acne.”
“It’s hormonal.”
“Try another cream.”
Meanwhile… the root cause is never addressed.
If acne is:
Deep, cystic, and painful Resistant to typical treatments Paired with fatigue, anxiety, nerve pain, rage, stretch-mark-like rashes, or otherBartonella symptomsIt’s time to look deeper.
Because sometimes…
Your #skin is telling the story your labs are missing....
