The early symptoms associated with Lyme disease are often overlooked. They
include fever, fatigue, headache, body aches and joint pain. Between 80 percent to 90
percent of persons infected with Lyme disease will also notice an expanding characteristic
rash called erythema Chronicum migrans.
This rash, which may take on a bull's eye appearance, can appear as early as three days or
as late as 30 days after exposure. It most often (but not always) appears at the site of
the tick bite and can range in size from a few centimeters to the entire diameter of a
person's back. Some people will present with a rash on more than one region of the body. |
