Greetings Menhirs of the CS art,
Whats a herx reaction?
Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction: an increase in the symptoms of a
spirochetal disease (as syphilis, Lyme diseaes, or relapsing fever)
occurring in some persons when treatment with spirocheticidal drugs is
started.
Also called Herxheimer reaction.
The symptoms that increase are chancres, rashes, and systemic lesions.
These are skin disturbances.
Jarisch: 1850-1902, Austrian dermatologist
Herxheimer: 1861-1944, German dermatologist
As loosely used slang word on silver-list: An increase in distressful
symptoms caused by the dissolution of bacteria and viruses and resultant
release of their toxins into the bloodstream. Called a herx or herx
reaction.
Alleviated by reducing dosage to lower levels and allowing the body
more time to eliminate the toxins. This herx may occur with usage of
any anti-microbal substance or drug.
Bless you Bob Lee
