LYME DISEASE IN AUSTRALIA
History - Australia
The first Australian cases of a syndrome consistent with Lyme disease were reported from the Hunter Valley region of New South Wales in 1982. Serology was initially negative on one of the 6 patients, but later reported as positive in low titre. Cases of EM with febrile illness were reported in 1986 from the south and central coasts of New South Wales. All had negative serology. In Queensland, from 1986 to 1989, the State Health Laboratories tested 1,247 patients for B.burgdorferi antibody using an IFAT and reported 186 (15%) positive (titre 64) titres. In none of these cases was confirmatory serology (WB) undertaken.
In 1988 at Westmead Hospital, a multidisciplinary investigation of putative LD in coastal New South Wales began, encompassing clinical, serological, vector and reservoir host studies.- Added on: 09.20.2009 | hits: 176

About Me
- I have Lyme Disease and I am in no way an expert nor am I giving any type of professional advise on the topic. I am tired of living with Lyme Disease and it's many symptoms, but I am stuck until they find a cure or something that makes me feel better. I remember when I first got diagnosed with Lyme Disease and how I felt so hopeless and helpless, I felt stuck. Today I am no longer hopeless and helpless and my hope is that I can help at least one person get out of that feeling.

2. WEAR LONG SLEEVES & LONG PANTS. Tuck the legs into your socks. Light-colored clothes make it easier to spot ticks.
3. STAY IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAILS. Don't brush against leaves and weeds or hike through the underbrush.
4. USE AN INSECT REPELLENT. Follow manufacturers directions.Look for ones containing 25-35% DEET.
5. CHECK FOR TICKS OFTEN. Crawling ones can be brushed off carefully.
6. PLACE CLOTHES IN A DRYER. A 1/2 hr. dryer high heat cycle will destroy ticks which might be hiding in clothing. the scalp, and behind the ears.
7. DO A THOROUGH TICK CHECK. Ticks crawl upward until they are stopped..Check legs, waistline, bra line, and armpits, and ask a family member to help check scalp, back, etc.
8. USE REPELLENTS AND CHECK YOUR PETS before they enter the house for crawling or attached ticks. 9. HUNTERS AND TRAPPERS SHOULD HANG ANIMAL CARCASSES AWAY FROM BUILDINGS. Put a bucket of bleach water under the animal to catch any ticks falling off. Wear rubber gloves when field dressing or handling meat to minimize chances for infection.
