I thought it was "Lyme disease can be a life long issue"?
- pwg 9y agoIt is. If diagnosed early (i.e., during the "bulls eye" stage) about a 2-3 week course of antibiotics will take care of it. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyme_disease#Treatment https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyme_disease#Treatment
- msisk6 9y agoI can vouch for this. About 15 years back I was living in a rural area of New Hampshire and got the "bulls eye" mark on my leg. Never saw the tick in this case but ticks and bites were common around there. I promptly went to the doctor to get a course of antibiotics and never had further health issues. Now I'm in rural Texas and surrounded by fire ants. I need to rethink my life choices.
