Lyme disease is a bacterial infection caused by the bite of infected ticks. It can lead to symptoms such as fever, fatigue, joint pain, headaches, and skin rashes. If left untreated, it may cause neurological problems and chronic health issues.
Common signs include a distinctive bulls-eye rash, fever, chills, muscle and joint aches, fatigue, and neurological symptoms like facial paralysis or memory issues. Prompt recognition improves recovery chances.
Diagnosis involves examining symptoms, assessing potential tick exposure, and confirming with blood tests like ELISA and Western blot. Early detection is vital for effective treatment.
Antibiotics such as doxycycline or amoxicillin are typically prescribed for 2-4 weeks. Early treatment usually results in full recovery, while delayed diagnosis may require longer therapy.
Preventive steps include avoiding tick habitats, wearing long sleeves and pants, using EPA-registered repellents, and performing thorough tick checks after outdoor activities in wooded or grassy areas.
