It is not what lyme does in the beginning. It is what it will do to you over time. They did not even bother with the tests. It was a classic rash and I was put on antibiodics post haste.
I have had ticks stuck on me a million times.
Lyme is a very serious and scary disease...often, it's years later after the tick bite that things go terribly wrong.
I'm suprised that more isn't made of this disease by medical experts. Mostly, they want to deny it's present in a community.
