#3 SYMPTOMS

The effects of Lyme disease vary widely, making it difficult to diagnose, but early detection is crucial to treatment. Most people experience flu-like symptoms three to 30 days after being bitten, often accompanied by a rash shaped like a bull’s eye. If you develop symptoms after been bitten or spending time outside in a region with a known risk of Lyme disease, get medical help immediately. An early course of antibiotics is usually effective in treating Lyme disease.
