How did America's Lyme disease epidemic begin, and what can be done to stop it? For many years, doctors in southwestern Connecticut struggled with hundreds of new cases of "Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis," but the true cause of this disease always remained a mystery. Then in 1975, a sudden concentration of new cases in the small town of Lyme, Connecticut sparked an investigation into the source of this crippling disease.
Doctors had documented over 50 new cases of this debilitating disease in a small three town area of the state. Since these cases were so unusually concentrated, health officials decided to conduct a thorough investigation to see if any common denominator could be found to explain this outbreak. The first thing doctors noticed was that most of the cases seemed to be occurring in the summer when children were playing outside. They also noticed that many of these cases were occurring in homes located near wooded areas.
When doctors ran blood tests on the children to screen them for a common bacterium, they uncovered an unidentified spirochete bacterium in all the blood samples taken. When the children's parents were questioned about any unusual symptoms that had occurred just prior to the appearance of the disease, they found that most of the children had exhibited a rash just prior to the onset of symptoms. Parents were then asked to bring their children in immediately if they exhibited such a rash.
It was soon determined that in all cases, the children had been bitten by a tick just prior to the development of the disease, and that a rash had formed in a bull's eye pattern around the site of the tick bite. Apparently the children were being infected with this disease by ticks. The specific tick identified as the culprit was the Eastern Deer Tick, a tick commonly hosted by white-tailed deer.
Lyme disease is of the family of spirochete diseases, like Syphilis and Leptospirosis, that do not kill their victims immediately, but instead linger hidden (in a pimple) for extended periods in the human body, slowly damaging the body's organs over time, causing suffering and premature death for many victims. Connecticut's juvenile rheumatoid arthritis investigation did finally reveal the transmission mode for this disease, but it remains a fact that doctors still failed to grasp the larger picture of the true cause of this Lyme disease epidemic.
In spite of the fact that we now live in the 21st century with all its modern medical miracles, many of our medical professionals still fail to recognize the vital role that disease mechanisms play in God's natural ecosystem.
