I am constantly sweating!!! Anyone else have this because of Babesia? (What is Babesia? Many people have never heard of Babesia, but it is a relatively common tick borne infection in the world of Lyme Disease. Babesiosis is a parasitic protozoan infection. Simply put, Babesia is an infection of the red blood cells. Upon infection, these little invaders cause lysis or rupture of the hosts red blood cells. As the infection takes hold, the little parasites reproduce as quickly as possible and as red blood cell depletion increases, they actually begin to deprive their host of oxygen -- which causes extreme, debilitating fatigue. The symptoms of Babesia seem to be as generalized and vague as those of Lyme Disease. They are listed as flu-like symptoms, including fatigue, fever, malaise, chills & sweating. Most LLMDs describe Babesia as being a Malaria-like infection, and in fact, the two look so alike under the microscope that it is said to take a well-trained eye to recognize the differences and diagnose correctly.)
