Lyme disease is a tick-borne illness caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi. Symptoms of an acute infection can include fever, headache, fatigue, and skin rash, but the infection can also be completely asymptomatic.
It is most common in the Northeast and Upper Midwest but is found throughout the rest of the United States and most of the world. About 30,000 Lyme disease cases are reported annually, although the vast majority go unreported.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy seeks to attack Lyme disease with enriched oxygen, which increases blood flow. Lyme disease is a microaerophile, meaning that it thrives in low-oxygen environments. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy can directly kill the organism by flooding it with oxygen.
