Common Symptoms of Lyme Disease

The initial symptoms of Lyme disease often mimic those of the flu, including fever, fatigue, muscle aches, and headaches. A distinctive feature is the “bull’s-eye” rash known as erythema migrans, which generally shows up at the site of the tick bite within three to 30 days. Recognizing these symptoms early is essential, as they can lead to more severe complications if left untreated.

Stages of Lyme Disease

Lyme disease progresses through stages, beginning with early localized infection characterized by the rash and flu-like symptoms. If not treated, it can advance to the early disseminated stage, leading to joint pain, neurological issues, and heart palpitations. The late stage may result in chronic arthritis and persistent fatigue, making early detection and treatment crucial.
