Symptoms of Lyme Disease

Lyme disease is an infectious disease caused by the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi. It is primarily transmitted to humans through the bite of infected ticks. The symptoms of Lyme disease can vary, but they typically include:

• Fever
• Headache
• Fatigue
• Muscle and joint aches
• Swollen lymph nodes
• A characteristic skin rash called erythema migrans

If left untreated, Lyme disease can lead to more severe symptoms, such as joint pain, heart palpitations, and neurological problems.

Diagnosing Lyme Disease

Diagnosing Lyme disease can be tricky because the symptoms can mimic those of other diseases. However, if you have been bitten by a tick and are experiencing any of the symptoms listed above, it is important to seek medical attention right away. Your healthcare provider may order a blood test to look for antibodies to the bacteria that cause Lyme disease. However, these tests can take time to produce accurate results, and false negatives are possible.
