"The online campaign, led by Accola, will accumulate over time "a national video quilt" of individual statements by those affected by tick-borne diseases and their friends and families. This "video quilt" will be sent to state and federal legislators, encouraging them to support Lyme-disease legislation.
In addition, 24-year-old Lyme-sufferer John Donnally will bike across America this summer and fall to meet others affected by Lyme disease and galvanize local support for TBDA's mission to fund research and educate the public about the silent epidemic of tick-borne diseases."

Rutgers begins new institution for research on infectious diseases
"Dysfunction of the immune system is increasingly recognized as contributing to a broad spectrum of infectious and noninfectious diseases," said William Gause, senior associate dean for research at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School. "The specific focus of our new institute provides a unique opportunity to build an innovative and significant program of biomedical research excellence for Newark and the State of New Jersey."

HANOVER, N.H. -
About a month ago, Priscilla Weismann got very ill.
"I had chills and fevers, nausea and vomiting," she said. "I was in bed for about three or four days."
Weismann is outside in her Hanover, N.H., yard often. She knew that she had been bitten by something, but it wasn't until she was diagnosed with Lyme disease that she realized it was a deer tick. And then came another surprise:
"Fifteen people in Hanover," Weismann said. "My neighbors and my friends."
Like Weismann-- all of them treated for Lyme disease."

C'est en fait la maladie de Lyme qui le paralysait. À l'origine, une morsure de tique…
a vie sur pause à cause d'une morsure de tique

Aube - Jean-Claude Santune a d'abord cru à un AVC. C'est en fait la maladie de Lyme qui le paralysait. À l'origine, une morsure de tique…
Les béquilles sont encore debout, à côté de la porte d'entrée. « Je suis déjà content de pouvoir marcher sans déambulateur… » souffle Jean-Claude Santune. Cet habitant de Bouilly, 59 ans, a voulu témoigner de ce qu'est la maladie de Lyme, « pour que les parents soient informés, pour que les précautions soient prises… »
À l'origine de cette maladie mal connue, une morsure de tique infectée. Et après la morsure, des symptômes très divers, qui rendent le diagnostic difficile. Maux de tête, difficultés à se concentrer, problèmes d'estomac, engourdissement des membres… La liste est longue.
Pour Jean-Claude, tout a commencé par des douleurs à la nuque, début décembre. « J'ai pris des anti douleurs et c'est passé », raconte-t-il. Quelque temps après, il subit une hypersensibilité de la peau à certains endroits. Il ne supporte même pas ses vêtements. ça passe.
Mais ensuite apparaissent des maux plus violents, qui l'empêchent de dormir pendant une dizaine de jours au début du mois de janvier. Cette fois-ci, c'est au niveau des lombaires.
« J'avais tellement mal que mon médecin m'a envoyé au service rhumatologie du centre hospitalier de Troyes. » On le met sous morphine. Au bout de quelques jours il est paralysé du visage. Il pense à un AVC. « Je n'arrivais plus ni à manger ni à parler et ma femme était très inquiète… »
« Cette bactérie peut laisser des séquelles »
Très vite les jambes ne répondent plus. Les médecins pensent d'abord à une réaction à la morphine. En fait, une ponction lombaire révèle une infection du liquide céphalo rachidien.
C'est une méningite. « Il fallait déterminer si elle était due à une tuberculose, un herpès ou la maladie de Lyme. » C'est Lyme. Des bactéries qui ont envahi son corps à cause d'une simple morsure de tique dont il ne se souvient pas.
« Dans certains cas, les patients développent un érythème. Pas moi. » Il travaille à l'ONF, dans la gestion des forêts communales. « Mais les tiques ne sont pas qu'en forêt, on les voit partout, à la campagne. »
Quand a-t-il été piqué ? Nul ne le sait. C'est bien ce qui l'inquiète. « Les gens devraient être mieux informés, dans les écoles, les collectivités. ça n'est pas anodin… »
Et Jean-Claude sait de quoi il parle. Quatre semaines d'antibiotiques par intraveineuse l'ont cloué au lit, à l'hôpital. S'en sont suivies des semaines de rééducation fonctionnelle puis des séances de kinésithérapie encore aujourd'hui.
D'abord arrêté pendant trois mois, le médecin a doublé la période de son congé maladie. Fatigue et douleurs sont le lot de ce quinquagénaire.
« Je n'ai pas encore récupéré toutes mes facultés, confie-t-il. Il faut savoir que plus cette maladie est prise en charge rapidement, moins c'est grave. Si on laisse traîner, cette bactérie tordue gagne du terrain et peut laisser des séquelles… » En l'absence de traitement et dans 10 % des cas, la maladie peut évoluer vers des complications neurologiques invalidantes (paralysie faciale, méningite, atteintes de nerfs), des manifestations cutanées, articulaires (arthrite du genou) ou plus rarement, vers une atteinte du cœur ou de l'œil.
En France, la maladie se développe entre avril et octobre, principalement dans l'Est.

Lyme patients often have digestive issues
Digestive Issues
Lyme patients often have digestive issues, which can be caused by the borrelia and co-infections themselves, by opportunistic infections such as intestinal parasites, yeast overgrowth and H pylori, or by food sensitivities brought about by leaky gut and immune activation. H pylori compromises the stomach’s production of hydrochloric acid, making complete digestion of food difficult. Parasites give symptoms of constipation, diarrhea, gas and bloating. Specific infections should be addressed during treatment of Lyme, as optimal digestive function will help patients tolerate medications and other treatment protocols, as well as maximize absorption of nutrients from food.
Gluten intolerance and food sensitivities are common in the general population, and can worsen Lyme symptomatology. Most patients fare better avoiding gluten and dairy, because of their potential to fuel inflammation. Specific food sensitivities can be detected using a simple finger-stick blood test, making individualized dietary recommendations possible.
Yeast overgrowth is a consideration especially when antibiotic protocols are given. Prevention is the best medicine, and high potencty probiotics should be a part of every Lyme patients protocol. Up to 100 billion organisms a day are used prophylactically. Nystatin is a relatively safe and non-toxic medication to address candida; diflucan may be necessary in systemic yeast cases but has higher liver toxicity and more medication interactions.

Tick can cause an allergy to meat
Drs. Niesel and Herzog: Tick can cause an allergy to meat
"This allergy first came to light because some cancer patients were unusually sensitive to the cancer drug cetuximab, which includes the alpha-gal molecule. Only patients from the Southeastern and Eastern United States, where the Lone Star Tick lives, experienced this, and they all had high levels of alpha-gal antibodies. Currently, more than 80 percent of the people with this meat allergy had tick bites before exhibiting symptoms."

Springettsbury teen dies after skateboard fall
"Jim Leavens said he doesn't blame his son or Royer for what happened but rather blames Lyme disease, which affected Rob Leavens' motor skills, balance and reasoning.
Lyme disease: For years, the effects of Lyme disease wouldn't allow Rob Leavens to skateboard because it was too painful.
Rob Leavens contracted Lyme disease at age 14 but was misdiagnosed for two years after testing negative for the disease until the family sought a specialist in Maryland who correctly diagnosed him, Jim Leavens said.
"He struggled mightily from the symptoms of Lyme disease," Jim Leavens said. "It affected his emotions and cognitive ability."
Rob Leavens suffered intense headaches, was hospitalized twice and would become frustrated that he couldn't remember to complete tasks or be a carefree teenager, Jim Leavens said."
