Information on Lyme Disease. Below are links to general information on Lyme Disease (also known as Borreliosis) its bacteriology, some useful downloadable diagnostic and treatment aids and a downloadable leaflet. The Frequently Asked Questions section covers such topics as; opinions on how long ticks need to be attached to transmit infection, where in the UK Lyme might be caught, and more on the tests, treatments and detection of Lyme. We cannot give advice about medical matters, but these web pages should enable most enquirers to find the information or links to other resources that they need Why is it called Lyme Disease? What are the symptoms of Lyme? Self-help, diagnosis and treatment Ticks and Lyme Disease Arun would like to thank those members of the EuroLyme group, many of whom themselves suffer from Lyme disease, or support someone who does, for the advice and comments on our web offering.
This web page is dedicated to the memory of John Adams, Churchill Fellow and Senior Food Safety Inspector at Arun District Council until 2003. John was recognised as a leading expert on Wild Game and through this work he became aware of the devastating impact on humans, of the tick-borne infection Lyme disease. He helped raise awareness of a disease that is still largely misunderstood and misdiagnosed in the UK. The leaflet on Ticks and Lyme that you can download from this site came about through his hard work and persistence.
