Unfortunately, tick borne infections are on the rise. The CDC estimates that more than 300,000 people are diagnosed with Lyme Disease each year in the US.  Most people are familiar with the pathognomonic Bull's Eye rash, but many people who contract lyme disease do not get this rash and unfortunately acute lyme disease is often missed, resulting in chronic lyme disease. Chronic lyme disease can cause debilitating physical, mental, and neurological symptoms. Ticks can carry ​other infections including bartonella and babesia which can also be just as severe. Fortunately, there are many effective treatment options for treating these disorders including herbal medicine, homeopathic treatment, nutritional supplement, and pharmaceutical medication.
