Lyme’s Disease By: Cory Burr What I already knew/what I want to know My search results What I learned Works Cited My growth as researcher Story of my Search
What I already knew What I want to know • Bulls eye shaped rash. • Headaches • Fatigue • Carried by a tick. • Could be treated by antibiotics. • Does Lyme’s disease ever go away? • How can Lyme’s disease be avoided? • What other symptoms does Lyme’s disease have? • How can Lyme’s disease be treated? (besides by antibiotics) • How fatal is Lyme’s disease?
Story of my search • When I first started my research I was lost and confused and didn’t understand how to use delicious, power library, EBSCOhost, or the MLA format very well. But, as class went on I understood how to use these better.
My search results • While researching I learned how to get articles off of power library and how to tag them on my delicious page. • I am also beginning to understand the MLA format better.
My growth as a researcher • I believe that I have grew as a researcher because I was able to successfully get information from power library and EBSCOhost. I feel like I have grown because at first I didn’t understand what I was doing very well but now I do.
What I Really Learned • Use bug repellent containing DEET and avoid going into tall grass to avoid getting bitten by ticks. • I learned that there is short term and long term symptoms to Lyme’s disease. Some short term symptoms consists of headaches and a fever and sometimes a bulls-eye shaped rash. Some late symptoms consist of fatigue, sore/swollen joints, or forgetfulness. • Lyme’s disease can be treated by taking certain vitamins. The rash can be treated by Doxycycline or Amoxicillin. • Lyme’s disease sometimes results in death but is very rare.
