Lyme Disease: Like Beating Back Supernatural Beasts

Part 2 of 2 | Read Part 1 of Series

The spirochetes that cause Lyme Disease are truly monsters. Like a Boogeyman they hide from detection by boring into body tissues such as bone, tendons, joints, nerves and, most preferably, the brain. This is how the spirochetes are able to avoid being confronted by either the body’s immune system or any antibiotics, which use the circulatory system as their avenue for attack. In essence the spirochetes hide under the bed until all is clear, then they dart out of their cubby holes and start creating the havoc for which they are infamous. This is why Lyme Disease can go into remission only to later resurface with a vengeance. And the fiendishness doesn’t stop there, for not only do they hide, they also shape shift like a werewolf.
