The Lyme Disease Co-Infection Questionnaire- Is Yersinia Making You Sick?

Updated: Mar 31, 2023

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 Yersinia questionnaire and find out today if it's this Lyme Disease co-infection causing/contributing to your symptoms.

What is Yersinia?

Yersinia is a bacteria that causes infectious disease- Yersiniosis. Yersinia is usually caught by eating raw or undercooked pork contaminated with the bacteria. Although pigs are the major animal reservoir for Yersinia species, other rodents like rabbits, sheep, cattle, horses, dogs and cats may also carry strains that cause pathology. Differentiation between Lyme disease and Yersinioisis is extremely difficult as they both can cause multi-systemic pathology.
