Origin, Discovery and Naming of "Lyme Disease"
Lyme Disease may of well have originated eons ago.. Suffers may of complained of its symptoms and yet been labeled as "hypochondriacs" or malcontents , similar to Morgellons Disease suffers today, had it not been for serendipity the disease may never have been identified or named . The disease only was put together in 1974, with the dogged attempts of a local health care research group in Lyme Connecticut. This multi faceted multi-disciplinary research group become aware of a distinct cluster of children who exhibited similar unique "Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis" disease and symptoms. The incidence of JRA is relatively rare so that this relatively large amount of young patients , who happened to live in one specifically identified geographic node drew the researchers attention and alarm.
This atypical grouping of children with "rheumatoid" disease characteristics eventually led researchers to the "bacterial" cause in this case of the rheumatoid like symptoms ( that initially were the specific disease characteristic marker). It turned out with additional research that the vector of the disease were simple tick insects. It was determined that a marker of the spread and incidence of the disease were the physical counts and prevalence of the insect ticks themselves in a given area , and as well as to what percentage of these specific species animals were infected with the spirochete bacteria. In some areas of high prevalence of Lyme Disease. up to 68 % of the ticks are infected with the specific bacteria. It is not only the tick that is involved in the host chain of the spread
