Not all ticks carry Lyme Disease, but they do actually bite in order to feed on the blood of birds or mammals, including humans. The disease is most common in the Midwest, the Northeast, and the Mid-Atlantic states and they are mostly found in super-grassy or wooded areas.
If diagnosed early, Lyme Disease can be easier to treat. With many people, the early symptoms will include a circular rash. Albeit, it is believed that 1 in 3 people will NOT get the rash. Lyme Disease can develop in anywhere from 3 to 30 days from the day of the bite. While some people get rashes on different parts of their body, the most common rash looks like a red bull’s-eye. It can have slightly raised edges and it is usually 15 cm (6 inches) across, but even the size can vary.
Common symptoms include fatigue, muscle or joint pain, headaches, fever, chills, and, in some cases, neck stiffness. In worse cases, more severe symptoms can develop. These may include joint pain or swelling, nerve issues (numbness or pain in limbs), concentration difficulty, memory loss, and/or heart problems. In the worst cases, particularly when this disease was not diagnosed and treated early, post-infectious Lyme disease can lead to long-term symptoms like ‘chronic fatigue syndrome’.
