No symptoms as of yet for me except for this sudden, almost uncontrollable urge to go buy another GS....oh wait, that's normal
Speaking of disease spread by little bug bastards, they're spraying my neighborhood right now after mosquitoes were found in Worcester and Auburn with the West Nile Virus
Bite redness or ring is not at all like bulls eye rash. Mine literally looked like I had a red 8in target on my stomach.
Although I have never had a bulls eye ring 8” in diameter, I have experienced many a few inches in diameter. A much smaller target than you describe was present when my wife developed Rocky Mountain non Spotted Fever.
An update to those who may have wondered..I went through 2 months of medicine,I went back to have bloodwork done.The bloodwork showed that the Doxycycline did it's job and Lyme no longer showed up in my body.I had a second round of blood work to be sure on Monday and once again,I am Lyme negative. On a bad note,In the last 2 months,I have found ticks moving on the outside of my clothing.I use repel 1oo when I think I will be in areas ticks are,but the good news is,I have not had any embed themselves in my skin. The ones I have seen are the much larger ones.I have also been feeling better and no more tiredness and pain in my joints. My Dr told me he has treated 20-40 cases in our area in the last year.
I am in the Heart of Lyme tick country. Center of bullseye. I have it All my neighbors have it. All the dogs have had it. The new strayne is out and becoming a problem . Thorn horn Tick I think that is what it’s called. It came from China . Started here in N.J. Spreading west. It’s no joke. And Deadly. The End is near
My body covered with sores from 2 years ago like Jim Lore showed you pics of. Where they bore in you SAWYER makes the best Spray. Buy it!! Keep Dawn dish soap in a spray bottle of water. Couple drops 1 ounce . Spray your Dogs. Dish soap kills the sons of bitches
To put your mind at ease you may want to try https://igenex.com/order-a-test-kit/ Common for the regular test to be a "false Negative" leading one to believe lyme is gone. IMHO that is why some people get so sick and misdiagnosed. Ted
I got it and never had the bullseye or fever/flu - I have rheumatoid arthritis and thought I was having another flare, but it lasted much longer than they normally do so I casually asked the Dr if he thought it could be Lymes, sure enough the test came back positive. Never even saw the tick or where he got me
