Spirochetes and high cortisol

How do spirochetes increase cortisol levels? do they secrete cortisol or is it the endotoxin they secrete that raises the levels?

Lyme's bacteria releases an endotoxin with zinc endopeptidase properties..similar to tetanus?

Tetanus's zinc-endotoxin causes the inhibition of acetylcholine release (the paralysis)

acetylcholine causes cortisol secretion

Is the body countering these inhibitors and increasing acetylcholine release?

paralysis from lyme has occurred but is not common

maybe lyme's chronic nerve pain is actually over stimulation instead of
inhibition?
