"Lyme disease is the most common tick-borne disease in the Northern Hemisphere. Borrelia is transmitted to humans by the bite of infected ticks belonging to a few species of the genus Ixodes ("hard ticks"). Early symptoms may include fever, headache, fatigue, depression, and a characteristic circular skin rash called erythema migrans. Left untreated, later symptoms may involve the joints, heart, and central nervous system. In most cases, the infection and its symptoms are eliminated by antibiotics, especially if the illness is treated early. Delayed or inadequate treatment can lead to the more serious symptoms, which can be disabling and difficult to treat"
"The classic sign of early local infection with Lyme disease is a circular, outwardly expanding rash called erythema chronicum migrans (also erythema migrans or EM), which occurs at the site of the tick bite three to thirty days after the tick bite. The rash is red, and may be warm, but is generally painless. Classically, the innermost portion remains dark red and becomes indurated; the outer edge remains red; and the portion in between clears, giving the appearance of a bullseye. However, partial clearing is uncommon, and the bullseye pattern more often involves central redness"
"When making a diagnosis of Lyme disease, health care providers should consider other diseases that may cause similar illness. Most, but not all, patients with Lyme disease will develop the characteristic bullseye rash, but many may not recall a tick bite. Diagnosis of late-stage Lyme disease is often complicated by a multifaceted appearance and nonspecific symptoms, prompting one reviewer to call Lyme the new "great imitator."
"Attached ticks should be removed promptly, as removal within 36 hours can reduce transmission rates. One study concluded that a single dose of doxycycline given within 72 hours after a high-risk tick exposure can prevent the development of Lyme disease."

Lyme Disease is a serious disease that should not be treated lightly. If you have recently been bitten by any tick and notice a circle forming around the infected area and or become nauseas with behavioral swings, immediately see a qualified physician."
Do not self medicate or implement a natural healing approach until you have professional advice.
