Kuyini isifo seLyme?

Kalula nje, i-Lyme Disease iwukutheleleka okubangelwa uhlobo oluthile lwebhaktheriya . Leli bhaktheriya lingena emizimbeni yethu uma silunywa yi-tick ethelelekile. Lifana nesifo esifana nomkhuhlane we-dengue esidluliselwa umiyane, kodwa kulokhu umthwali waso uyisikhafu. Uma lesi sifo sivela, izinkinga ezahlukahlukene zingavela esikhumbeni sethu, enhliziyweni, ebuchosheni nasemalungeni ethu . Kodwa ungakhathazeki, isikhathi esiningi singelapheka ngokuphelele ngama-antibiotic, ikakhulukazi uma ukwelashwa kuqalwa ekuqaleni kwalesi sifo .

Umuntu uthola kanjani isifo seLyme?

Manje ake sibone ukuthi singasithola kanjani lesi sifo. Akuzona zonke izimpukane ezilumayo ezibangela isifo se-Lyme. Kukhona uhlobo olukhethekile lwempukane.

Into ebalulekile ukuthi akuwona wonke umuntu olunywa yi-tick efana nale ozogula. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi yiphesenti elincane kakhulu lalawo ma-tick athelelekile. Futhi, amabhaktheriya cishe angena emizimbeni yethu uma i-tick ethelelekile ihlala emizimbeni yethu okungenani amahora angama-24 kuya kwangu-48 (izinsuku ezingu-1-2) futhi imunca igazi lethu .

Ubani osengozini enkulu?

Ngakho-ke ubani onamathuba amaningi okuthola lesi sifo? Ake sibone.

• Abantu abachitha isikhathi esiningi bengaphandle, ikakhulukazi otshanini obude, ezihlahleni, noma ezindaweni ezinehlathi. Cabanga ukuthi uhamba ngezinyawo ehlathini, noma usebenza otshanini obude engadini. Lawa makhizane angazinamathisela emzimbeni wakho ngezikhathi ezinjengalezi.
• Abantu abanezilwane ezifuywayo bangaletha amakhaza ekhaya. Izinja namakati ethu ngezinye izikhathi angaletha amakhaza ekhaya nawo uma ebuya ekudlaleni ngaphandle.
• Abantu abenza imisebenzi efana nokulima, ukuhamba ngezinyawo, ukukhempa, ukudoba, noma ukuzingela ezindaweni lapho kuvame khona amakhizane. Uma senza lezi zinto, sizibeka engozini ngokungazi endaweni lapho kukhona khona amakhizane.

Kodwa lokhu akusho ukuthi wonke umuntu owenza lezi zinto uzogula. Kusho nje ukuthi ingozi ingase ibe phezulu kancane.Into ebaluleke kakhulu ukuqaphela.

Ziyini izimpawu zesifo seLyme?

Kulungile, manje ake sibheke izimpawu zesifo i-Lyme. Khumbula ukuthi abanye abantu bangase bangabi nazo nhlobo izimpawu, kodwa basengatheleleka. Uma izimpawu zivela, zingahluka kumuntu nomuntu. Esikhathini esiningi, lezi zimpawu zenzeka ngezigaba ezintathu. Ake siqale sibheke ukuthi kwenzekani ezigabeni ezimbili zokuqala.

Izimpawu zokuqala (amasonto ambalwa okuqala)

Izimpawu ezinjengalezi zingabonakala emasontweni ambalwa okuqala okugula:

• Ukuqhuma noma ukuqubuka okuyisiyingi noma okumise okweqanda kuvela endaweni yokulunywa yizimpukane. Lolu uphawu oluvame kakhulu. Ngezinye izikhathi ukuqubuka kunesikhungo esicacile kanye nendandatho ebomvu ezungezile. Kubukeka njengokuqubuka kwe-bull's-eye . Yingakho kubizwa nangokuthi "ukuqubuka kwe-bulls-eye."

Ngenxa yokuthi lezi zimpawu zifana nezomkhuhlane ovamile, ngezinye izikhathi kungaba nzima ukuthola isifo seLyme. Ngakho-ke, kungcono ukufuna iseluleko sezokwelapha ngokushesha uma uhlangabezana nalezi zimpawu, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi usola ukuthi ulunywe yi-tick noma uke waba sendaweni lapho kungase kube khona ama-tick.

Izimpawu ezingase zivele kamuva (uma zingelashwa)

Cabanga nje, lezo zimpawu zokuqala azizange zithathwe ngokungathi sína, noma lesi sifo asizange sibonakale. Khona-ke lesi sifo saseLyme singaba sibi kakhulu. Ngemva kwezinyanga ezimbalwa ngaphandle kokwelashwa, izinto ezinjengalezi zingenzeka:

• Ubuhlungu obukhulu bamalunga nokuvuvukala. Lokhu kuvame kakhulu emalungeni amakhulu njengamadolo. Lobuhlungu bungafika budlule.

• Ukutheleleka kwesibindi (i-Hepatitis) (lokhu kuyinto engavamile, kodwa kungenzeka).
• Ukukhathala okukhulu nokukhathala.

Lezi zimpawu zibonisa ukuthi lesi sifo sesisabalale emzimbeni wonke futhi sesiqala ukuthinta izitho ezahlukene zomzimba. Yingakho sithi ukutholakala kusenesikhathi kanye nokwelashwa kubaluleke kakhulu.

Singakuqaphela kanjani lokhu? (Izindlela zokuvimbela)

Kungcono ukuphepha kunokuzisola uma ugula. Ngakho-ke, kunezinto ezimbalwa esingazenza ukuze sihlale siphephile esifweni saseLyme. Lezi zibaluleke kakhulu uma uya endaweni lapho ucabanga ukuthi kungase kube khona amakhizane:
