Fighting Lyme disease, the role of Meta hunter

Lyme disease is a tick-mediated infectious disease of spirochetes. It is a natural foci disease caused by Borrelia burgdorferi. The nervous system damage is the main clinical manifestation of the disease. The most common neurological damage is meningitis, encephalitis, cranial neuritis, motor and sensory neuritis. In the first stage of Lyme disease, only antibiotics can be effective, but to the second and third stages, antibiotics will not help, especially if the nervous system is damaged, there is no specific treatment. The early stage is characterized by chronic migratory erythema of the skin, and later nerve, heart, or joint diseases appear, usually in summer and early autumn, and can occur at any age, and there are slightly more men than women. The incidence is mostly young and middle-aged and is closely related to occupation. The infection rate is higher among field workers and forestry workers.
In the Meta hunter equipment, there is detection and analysis of Lyme disease. The Meta therapy function can also effectively reduce the damage caused by Lyme disease.

1. Symptoms
(1) The incubation period is 3 to 32 days, with an average of about 7 days. The clinical symptoms can be divided into three stages.
(2) The first stage is mainly manifested as chronic migratory erythema of the skin, which is seen in most cases. At the beginning of the disease, symptoms such as fatigue, chills, fever, headache, nausea, vomiting, joint and muscle pain are often accompanied, and meningeal irritation may also occur. Local and systemic lymph nodes can be enlarged. Occasionally, splenomegaly, hepatitis, pharyngitis, conjunctivitis, iritis, or testicular swelling may occur.
(3) In the second stage, a few weeks or months after the onset, 15% and 8% of patients have obvious signs of neurological symptoms and cardiac involvement, respectively.
(4) Stage 3 Within a few weeks to 2 years after infection, about 80% of patients have joint symptoms of varying degrees, such as joint pain, arthritis, or chronic invasive synovitis. Large joints such as knees, elbows, and hips occur frequently, and the surrounding tissues of small joints may also be affected. The main symptoms are joint pain and swelling, and a small amount of fluid in the knee joint. Often recurrent attacks.
2. Signs
(1) Skin lesions are often the first symptom, characterized by chronic migratory erythema, initially as red macules or papules, and gradually expanding into ring-shaped lesions. It usually occurs 3 to 32 days after a tick bite, and usually occurs in the trunk, thighs, groin, and underarms.
(2) Nervous system disease Approximately 15% of patients, appearing at the same time as the rash or 1 to 6 weeks after it subsides. Manifestations include meningitis, cerebroneuritis, chorea, cerebellar ataxia, meningeal irritation, coma, facial paralysis, or trigeminal neuralgia.
(3) Heart disease is seen in about 8% of patients. Atrioventricular block, myocarditis, pericarditis or pancarditis often occurs 3 weeks after the appearance of the skin lesion.
(4) Arthropathy is seen in about 60% of patients. Large joints are involved, especially knee joints, with repeated episodes of swelling and pain. 10% of patients can turn into chronic arthritis.
(5) Other manifestations: fever, fatigue, myalgia, nausea, vomiting, conjunctivitis, iritis, lymph nodes and hepatosplenomegaly.

The peripheral blood picture is basically normal, the erythrocyte sedimentation rate is slightly increased, the cryoprecipitated immunoglobulin in the serum may be positive, and the transaminase may be increased.
Spirochetes can be detected in blood, cerebrospinal fluid and diseased skin samples. Specific antibodies can be detected in the blood of patients by methods such as immunofluorescence and immunotransfer. Pathogen isolation and specific antibody detection have diagnostic significance. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology: detection of Lyme disease spirochetes DNA (Bb-DNA) such as blood, urine, cerebrospinal fluid and skin samples of patients, and at the same time the genotype of the infected strain can be measured.
From various manifestations and descriptions, it can be known that Lyme disease is a very terrible disease. We not only want to cure it, but more importantly, it can be prevented. The use of Meta hunter health analyzer equipment in daily life can be It is very important to strengthen our own resistance. The improvement of immunity and resistance can make us and our families better resist the invasion of pathogens from the outside world.
