0:00.0	Lyme disease is the most common vector-borne disease in the United States.
0:06.1	It is caused by a bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, and it is transmitted via the bite of infected black-legged ticks.
0:17.2	Typical symptoms include fever, headache, fatigue, and a characteristic skin rash called
0:23.8	erythema migrans. If left untreated, Lyme infections can spread to the joints, the heart,
0:33.5	and throughout the nervous system. Lyme disease is diagnosed primarily based on symptoms,
0:40.6	physical findings, and the possibility of exposure to infected ticks. There is some testing,
0:48.0	however, the testing is imperfect and may fail to diagnose anything other than a very acute Lyme infection. It's important that we take
1:00.1	some steps to prevent Lyme disease, such as wearing insect repellents, removing ticks promptly,
1:07.2	wearing light colored clothing, and helping to reduce the tick habitat.

1:53.3	Chronic Lyme can be very, very real and extraordinarily difficult to pin down what is going on and to actually
2:10.0	effectively move this infection out of the body. Today, we are going to be talking about chronic Lyme infection and how we can
2:24.8	identify the symptoms, recognize that there is an underlying Lyme infection that is a stealth infection and how we can get rid of those
2:39.4	extremely difficult to get rid of symptoms. This is my second interview with Dr. Jess.
2:48.9	It's always great to have guests back on the show. You can go back and
2:55.1	listen to my first interview with Jess back in episode 38, where we talk about what is broken
3:05.6	with our medical system and how we can choose to intentionally live life
