Most people believe Himalayan pink salt is a heart-healthy alternative. But the reality is… not quite, and yet, it’s not entirely a myth either. While it’s often marketed as “healthier”, Himalayan pink salt isn’t fundamentally different from regular table salt when it comes to sodium. So...

Did you know?
Two lesser-known tick-borne infections, Bartonella and Babesia, often go hand-in-hand with Lyme disease — but can cause serious symptoms all on their own.
Bartonella can infect red blood cells and the lining of blood vessels, leading to symptoms like nerve pain, fatigue, swollen lymph nodes, and strange “streak-like” skin marks.
Babesia is a parasite that lives inside red blood cells, similar to malaria. It can cause night sweats, air hunger, anemia, and chills.
Because these infections can hide from the immune system and standard tests, diagnosis often requires clinical awareness and specialized testing.
If you’re dealing with persistent fatigue, neurological issues, or unexplained symptoms after a tick bite, schedule an appointment with Dr. Robin Ridinger of Premier Health and Holistic Medicine in Leesburg, VA, today!
Perimenopause & Menopause Are Natural—But That Doesn’t Mean You Have to Struggle Alone

• Post-treatment Lyme symptoms
• An immune system stuck in attack mode

ONE tick bite can give many infections. 🌿 Did you know a single tick bite can pass on more than just Lyme disease?
Many people don’t realize that ticks often carry multiple infections—called co-infections—that can make Lyme symptoms much worse and harder to treat.
⚠️ Common co-infections include:
Babesiosis (a parasite that causes fatigue, sweats, and low blood counts)
Anaplasmosis & Ehrlichiosis (bacterial infections causing fever, chills, body aches)
Bartonella, Mycoplasma, and Chlamydia (bacteria that can worsen pain, neurological issues, and fatigue)
💡 Why it matters:
Co-infections can make Lyme symptoms more severe and long-lasting.
They can look like other illnesses (even Long COVID), making diagnosis tricky.
Treatment often needs to address all infections—not just Lyme.
✨ Takeaway:
If you’ve had a tick bite or struggle with ongoing symptoms like fatigue, pain, or brain fog, ask your provider about testing for co-infections.
👉 Sharing awareness can help more people get the right diagnosis and treatment sooner.

5 Common Myths About Lyme Disease—Debunked
Myth 1: You Can Only Get Lyme Disease in the Northeastern U.S.
Fact: While Lyme disease is most common in the Northeast and Upper Midwest, it has been reported in every U.S. state—and in many other countries around the world.
Myth 2: You’ll Always Get a Bull’s-Eye Rash
Fact: The classic bull’s-eye rash (called erythema migrans) is a hallmark symptom, but it doesn’t appear in all cases. In fact, up to 30% of people infected with Lyme disease never develop any rash, or they may get a different kind of rash altogether.
Myth 3: A Negative Test Means You’re Lyme-Free
Fact: Lyme disease tests, especially early in the infection, aren’t always accurate. Antibodies take time to build up in your system, so a test taken too soon may give a false negative.
Myth 4: Lyme Disease Is Easily Cured with a Short Course of Antibiotics
Fact: While early-stage Lyme disease is often treated effectively with antibiotics, some people experience lingering symptoms for months or even years after treatment in what is known as chronic Lyme disease.
Myth 5: Ticks Are Easy to Spot and Feel When They Bite
Fact: Ticks are sneaky. Nymph-stage ticks, which are most likely to transmit Lyme disease, are about the size of a poppy seed and often go unnoticed. Their bites are painless, so most people don’t even realize they’ve been bitten.
If you’ve been bitten by a tick or are experiencing unexplained symptoms after time outdoors, don’t ignore it!
