Isifo seLyme Simalunga neSpike esiNzima kweli hlobo

Umxholo

• Uphengululo lwe

Ukuba uhlala eMantla mpuma, useneeveki ezimbalwa ungapakishanga ipaki yakho kunye neiglavu zasebusika. (Ngokukrakra, entlakohlaza, uphi ?!) Kodwa ayikuko kwangoko ukuqala ukucinga ngomngcipheko wempilo wasehlotyeni onokuthi uhambise indlela yakho: Isifo seLyme.

Emuva ngo-2015, isifo sesifo seLyme esothusayo saqala ukujikeleza-umngcipheko wesifo unyuke nge-320 yeepesenti kwisithuba seminyaka engama-20, ngokutsho kwamaZiko okuLawula nokuKhuselwa kwezifo, njengoko sixele kwiLyme Disease Has Spiked In i-US Nangona iipesenti ezingama-95 zamatyala zenzeka kumantla mpuma nakuMantla e-Central, ngokwe-CDC, ngokuqinisekileyo iyasasazeka (thatha nje ujonge ezo mephu zingezantsi). Elona candelo loyikeka ngakumbi? Iimpawu zokuqala zibonisa ukuba u-2017 uza kuba yidozoz yasehlotyeni.

Isizathu? Iimpuku. Kuyabonakala ukuba, bekukho "isibetho seempuku" esikhulu kwi-Hudson River Valley kumantla eNew York kwihlobo elidlulileyo (abagxeki kuyo yonke indawo!). Ngenxa yokuba iimpuku zilungile ekusasazeni iLyme (zosulela i-95 yepesenti yamakhalane azondla kuwo), isibetho sempuku sihlala sithetha ukuba inani lamakhalane liza kunyuka kwihlobo elizayo, ngokutsho kwesazi ngendalo kunye nengcali yaseLyme uRick Ostfeld, Ph.D., njengoko kuchaziwe yi-NPR. Kwaye ngokuka-Ostfeld, oku kuthetha ukuba ezinye iindawo zaseMpuma zisemngciphekweni ngokunjalo. Ubuninzi beenkomo (ezilunywa ngamakhalane kwaye zincede ekusasazeni), ukutshintsha kwemozulu, kunye nokutshintsha kwemihlaba yehlathi konke kube zizinto ezibangela umngcipheko wesifo seLyme, uxelele i-NPR.

ICYMI, isifo seLyme sisiphumo esikhulu. Ngapha koko, "uLyme ngoyena bhubhani usasazekayo usichaphazelayo ngoku," utshilo uKent Holtorf, MD, umlawuli wezonyango kwiHoltorf Medical Group, kunye nengcali yaseLyme enengxaki yesi sifo.

Inokuza neempawu ezinzulu ezinjengeentloko ezibuhlungu, irhashalala, isifo samathambo esibuhlungu ngokudibeneyo kunye nokudumba, ukukhubazeka kobuso (ukulahleka kwethoni yemisipha okanye ukujinga kwelinye icala okanye kumacala omabini obuso), ukubetha kwentliziyo, ukudumba kwengqondo kunye nentambo yomqolo, kunye neengxaki zememori yexesha elifutshane, ngokweCDC. Inkolelo yesiko yeyokuba uninzi lwezigulana zibuyela ngokukhawuleza kwaye ngokupheleleyo emva kokufumana unyango lwe-antibiotics, kodwa kwipesenti encinci yamatyala, iimpawu zihlala ngaphezu kweenyanga ezintandathu-into ethile ebizwa ngokuba "isifo seLyme esingapheliyo," kwaye eyaziwa ngokusemthethweni njengesifo se-Lyme emva konyango. isifo (PTLDS). Nangona kunjalo, uphando oluthe kratya lubonisa ukuba nabantu abanyangelwe isifo seLyme kwaye bayeka ukubona iimpawu zange baphinde bachache kwimpilo yabo yangaphambi kweLyme, utshilo uHoltorf. I-Lyme inokuba nakho ukufihla ngaphakathi komzimba wakho (ofana nenkukhu yenkukhu) kwaye ibuyise intloko xa ichukunyiswa luxinzelelo okanye ezinye izinto, zikhokelela kwiimpawu ezinokuvela kwiingxaki zesisu kunye nemicimbi ye-neurological ukuya kukungalali kakuhle, utshilo. (I-TBH, ingxoxo malunga neLyme yexesha elide inokuba yinto edidayo. Nantsi into ekufuneka uyazi malunga nesifo esinganyangekiyo seLyme.)

Ngelishwa, isifo se-Lyme ayisiyiyo yodwa ingozi eyoyikisayo ezayo kunye nokulunywa kwamakhalane: "Cinga ithiki njengenaliti emdaka," utshilo uHoltorf. Ezi bugs zikwadlulisela okuninzi (sithetha nge-15 +) ezinye izifo, ngokwe-CDC-izifo ezikhoyo konke ekunyukeni. Emibini ephawulekayo: i-babesiosis (ephawulwa ziintlungu zezihlunu, ukubila ebusuku, kunye nokutyeba) kunye ne-bartonella (ephawulwa kudandatheko, ukuxhalaba, nokuhlaselwa luloyiko, nekwaziwa ngokuba sisifo sokukrwempa kweekati), utsho uHoltorf. Ngenxa yokuba umngcipheko weLyme welihlotyeni uqikelelwa ukuba uphezulu ngenxa yamakhalane aphezulu, umngcipheko wakho wezi zifo unokunyuka.

Ngokucacileyo, lixesha lokuba uhlambe isicwangciso sakho somdlalo ochasene namakhalane: Qiniseka ukuba usebenzisa uhlobo oluchanekileyo lokuziphindisela, ukogquma amaqatha akho, kwaye ujonge iindawo ezineendawo (ezinjengekhwapha kunye namadolo) emva kokuchitha ixesha ungaphandle. Ukugcina iliso ekulayisheni amakhalane kubaluleke kakhulu. Kuthatha iiyure ezingama-36 zokuncamathisela ukuhanjiswa kwesifo seLyme ukuba senzeke, ngokwe-CDC, ke ukuba unokukwazi ukubona i-sucker kunye ne-yank 'em ngaphambi koko, uya kuba mancinci amathuba okufumana isifo. Qiniseka ukuba ujonga iinwele kunye nolusu lwakho, kuba ezi bugger zinokuba ncinane njengentloko yephini, utsho uHoltorf. (Funda ngezinye iindlela zokuzikhusela koomakhalane.)

Ukuba u yenza Ukuba uhlatywe yikhalane, qiniseka ukuba uyalikhupha kwasekuqaleni okanye usebenzise ikiti yokususa amakhalane ukuze uqiniseke ukuba uyayisusa yonke into. Ngaphandle koko, ubeka emngciphekweni uphawu "lokugabha" amathumbu kunye nesifo-kulusu lwakho, utsho uHoltorf. (Siyazi, gross.) Kananjalo akunakulimaza ukubona i-doc kwangoko emva kokuba ulunywe-ungafumana itiki ngokwayo kuvavanyelwe uLyme emva kokuba uyikhuphile, utshilo. Kwaye musa ukukhuphela ngaphandle iLyme ngenxa yokuba awuphuhlisi irhashalala ye-bull's-eye. Bamalunga nama-20 ekhulwini kuphela abantu ababa nolu phawu. Ngokuqhelekileyo, abantu baxela ukukhathazeka njengomkhuhlane kunye nokukhathala, ngokuqhelekileyo kunye kunye naluphi na uhlobo lokugqithisa, utsho uHoltorf.

Kwaye, ewe, ngelixa isifo seLyme sisoyikisa, sukusiyeka siyeke ukonwaba ngaphandle ngaphandle kweli hlobo. Khawukhumbule nje zonke izibonelelo zempilo eziza nokuhamba ngaphandle.
