Tick larvae which are about half the size of a period, may carry an illness more severe than Lyme disease, but which is caused by a similar bacterium. The medical community is still divided on the existence of chronic Lyme. Chronic Lyme is characterized by bouts of fatigue, fever, stiffness, and joint pain. The rare few have experienced severe Lupus-like or Alzheimer's-like symptoms.
You can read the article on borrelia-miyamotoi here.. We shouldn't all go around worrying about things we can barely control, but misting ourselves with lemongrass, lavender, or cedarwood essential oils and drinking astragalus tea can't hurt. A friend of mine has a theory that astragalus prevents the transmission of Lyme. It's just a wild theory I won't try to explain. Astragalus pieces are used in Chinese cooking to flavor rice. It's woodsy and very mild.
"Known symptoms of miyamotoi infection include neurological disease, disorientation and memory loss as well as loss of appetite and loss of coordination."
With the rise in tick populations we have also been seeing a rise in Alzheimer's diagnoses. That in itself doesn't mean much at all, but read about their correlation from a leading pathologist.
