Early symptoms of Lyme disease usually happen within 3 to 30 days after a tick bite. Other stage 1 symptoms include:

• Fever.

• Headache.

• Extreme tiredness.

• Joint stiffness.

• Muscle aches and pains.

• Swollen lymph nodes.

Stage 2

Without treatment, Lyme disease can get worse. The symptoms often show up within 3 to 10 weeks after a tick bite. Stage 2 is often more serious and widespread.

Stage 2 may include the stage 1 symptoms and the following:

• Many rashes on other parts of the body.

• Neck pain or stiffness.

• Muscle weakness on one or both sides of the face.

• Immune-system activity in heart tissue that causes irregular heartbeats.

• Pain that starts from the back and hips and spreads to the legs.

• Pain, numbness or weakness in the hands or feet.

• Painful swelling in tissues of the eye or eyelid.

• Immune-system activity in eye nerves that causes pain or vision loss.

Stage 3

In the third stage, you may have symptoms from the earlier stages and other symptoms.

The most common condition of this stage is arthritis in large joints, particularly the knees. Pain, swelling or stiffness may last for a long time. Or the symptoms may come and go. Stage 3 symptoms usually begin 2 to 12 months after a tick bite.

When to see a doctor

See your healthcare provider if:

If you have any of the symptoms described above or if you see a tick attached to the skin it is time to see your health care provider. The provider will examine the patient and – if there is a tick attached – they will remove the tick and determine if it is a overgrown fields. After a tick attaches to your body, it often crawls upward to find a spot to burrow into your skin.

Use tick repellents

Spray your outdoor clothing, shoes, tent and other camping gear with a repellent that has 0.5% permethrin.

Use an insect repellent registered with the Environmental Protection Agency on any exposed skin, except your face. These include repellents that contain DEET, picaridin, IR3535, oil of lemon eucalyptus (OLE), para-menthane-diol (PMD) or 2-undecanone. Wear light-colored clothing that makes it easier for you or others to see ticks on your clothing. Avoid open-toed shoes or sandals.

Wear long-sleeved shirts tucked into your pants. Wear long pants tucked into your socks.

Stay on clear paths as much as possible in wooded and grassy areas.

Check for ticks

Shower as soon as possible to wash off any loose ticks. Check for ticks that may have burrowed.

Use a mirror to check your body well. Pay attention to your underarms, hair and hairline. Also check your ears, waist, and the area between your legs, behind your knees.

Do a complete body check every day in order to minimize the tick being attached for 24 hours+

Things to note:

It takes 24 hours for the tick to be attached to the skin to be able to transfer Lyme Disease

It may take up to 6 weeks for Lyme disease to show up on bloodwork

Dog ticks typically do not carry Lyme Disease and are larger than Deer ticks

Many healthcare providers will not send out a tick to the lab unless the patient is examined

If a tick is removed at home, preserve it on alcohol till it is brought to the health care center
