is there lime disease inarizona?

Answer 1

Lyme disease is carried by ticks that are usually found on wild animals but can also be on household pets like dogs, cats, horses, rabbits and even snakes.

Where ever there are ticks there is a chance of Lyme disease, so the anser is yes.

Answer 2

In North America, wherever you have ticks, you have a chance of Lyme disease. Even though the chances of contracting Lyme disease is small, less than 1% of tick bites result in Lyme disease, if you are bitten by a tick and you start to feel (often after a couple of weeks) fatigue, joint aches, mild fever, headaches and a non itching, painless rash, you may have contracted Lyme disease. Tell your doctor you were bitten and have him or her run the necessary tests - often Lyme disease goes undetected and can be very troublesome to get over.

Answer 3

You mean lyme disease? yes, I believe it is now been found in 49 out of 50 states.

Lyme disease or Lyme borreliosis is the most common tick-borne disease in North America and Europe, and the second fastest-growing infectious disease in the United States after AIDS. It is named after the town of Old Lyme, Connecticut where a cluster of cases was identified in 1975, although clinical features of the disease had been described in Europe as early as 1909. Lyme disease has now been reported in 49 of 50 states in the U.S, and on every continent except Antarctica. The cause of Lyme disease is a bacterial infection with a spirochete from the species complex Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, which is most often acquired from the bite of an infected Ixodes tick. Borrelia burgdorferi was first identified in 1982 by Willy Burgdorfer, a tick-borne disease expert at Rocky Mountain Labs in Hamilton, Montana. While Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto is the predominant cause in the U.S., Lyme disease in Europe is more often caused by Borrelia afzelii or Borrelia garinii.

The disease varies widely in its presentation, which may include a rash and flu-like symptoms in its initial stage, followed by musculoskeletal, arthritic, neurologic, psychiatric and/or cardiac manifestations. Early detection and prompt antibiotic treatment most often result in an excellent prognosis. However early detection is difficult when the characteristic rash is not present, and even those who are diagnosed and treated early may remain symptomatic.

Delayed or inadequate treatment may often lead to a chronic illness that is disabling and difficult to treat. Amid great controversy over diagnosis, testing and treatment, two different standards of care for Lyme disease have emerged.
