Do you suffer with chronic illness and malaise? Are you unsure what the cause of your symptoms is? Are you desperate to get your health back on track? Complete our Babesiosis questionnaire and find out today if it's this Lyme Disease co-infection causing/contributing to your symptoms.
What Is Babesiosis?
Babesiosis is the name for infection by the Babesia parasite. Babesia parasites can infect and damage red blood cells, and induce major organ dysfunction. Babesiosis can range in severity from asymptomatic to life threatening. Babesia is typically transmitted via a tick bite (hence it being a Lyme disease co-infection), however may be transmitted by other sources such as mosquito bites, blood transfusions etc. Acute symptoms of babesiosis resemble flu-like illness whilst chronic symptoms may resemble Borrelia and other co-infection symptoms.
