    Lyme Disease and Indoor Air Quality 

    Poor indoor air quality can have a long lasting effect on lyme disease potentially making Lyme symptoms worse and can make the recovery time from Lyme disease longer. Researchers are also looking into the potential that poor indoor air quality as well as indoor mold growth could actually increase the chances in contracting Lyme disease. A proper indoor air quality test or air quality assessment can help you beat Lyme disease

    What is Lyme Disease? 

    Lyme disease affects a number of areas of the body and has numerous symptoms which are often mis-diagnosed. Lyme is caused by a bacteria species called Borrelia burgdorferi. This bacteria is usually transferred to the human body from a tick bite. The tick responsible for Lyme disease is called a ‘Deer Tick’ or ‘Back Legged Tick

    What does Lyme Disease cause?

    The most common complaint at the beginning is a rash. The rash can look a lot like a ‘bull’s eye’. The rash does not have to appear in the area of the tick bite. The rash usually does not create any discomfort and has not been reported as having an itchy sensation. Other symptoms can include the following:

    • Fatigue
    • Headaches
    • Neck pain
    • Back pain
    • Joint pain
    • Malaise
    • Flu like feeling
    • Chest pain or soreness of the ribs

    How is Lyme Disease treated?

    The most important issue surrounding Lyme disease is to get a proper and early diagnosis and treatment. There are a number of treatments available. We encourage you to contact your physician or health practitioner as soon as you suspect that you may have been bitten by a tick or believe you may have Lyme disease. 

    How does Indoor Air Quality affect Lyme Disease?

    Mould growth inside your home can cause symptoms that don’t go away quickly and look more serious. It is also speculated that getting the disease after a tick has bitten you, is likelier if you’ve been exposed to mould. Worst of all, you may never heal if you have mould in your home or office while you have Lyme disease. This is a result of its mycotoxins impacting your immune system. An immune system that isn’t healthy can delay the healing of Lyme disease.

    How can I find out if mold growth may be affecting my Lyme disease treatment?

    We can perform an indepth indoor air quality assessment of your home or office to ensure you are not inhaling mold spores or mycotoxins that could hamper your health or Lyme treatment. We also have developed a Do-It-Yourself Kit if you are outside of our service area.
