Cover your ears with a head ban. A tic was found in my ear . It was in my ear for a while. I had to go to the doctor to have it removed. I had swollen eyes and severe drainage from my nose.

[ՀովսեփԽաշունի]

Even better, have somebody else check you for ticks. There are some places that ticks and others see, that you don’t.

[adjappleton]

Wisconsin here - so many suspected Lyme or tick disease patients this summer!!

[gillgetter]

Just diagnosed with it, on antibiotics now. I had weird rash on abdomen and back eventually, severe pain in abdomen and center of back that didn’t show until couple weeks in. Now I’m on heavy antibiotics and pain pills fighting it👍

[mohammadhossain]

Can we be affected with lyme disease by mosquito bite as well? Does this disease caused atrophied of muscles seems like ALS ?

[lulumoon]

IF YOU SUSPECT YOU'VE BEEN EXPOSED, IMMEDIATELY GET TREATMENT FOR 3 WEEKS! I'VE SUFFERED FOR YEARS BECAUSE I WAS TOLD OUR STATE HAD NO LYME!!!

[bonnieupton]

I had no fever! Bulls eye showed a week after hot rash running all over my legs and belly.

[Starleigh]

It's not just ticks, it's any bug that can bite other animals w these parasites as well.

[MakeAmericaGreatAgainWOmaga]

My 6 year old just got diagnosed with lyme 😢 he didn't have a bullseye he just woke up the other morning and couldn't walk..he's getting better now that we got antibiotics 🙏 I check him for ticks all the time - he plays outside alot I've never found a tick on him.

[YouTubeCensorsMe]

I have Lyme and I can’t get rid of it. I had the rash and Dr’s dismissed it because it looked like a bruise and said there’s no Lyme where I live.

[jeanstratton]

I got sent home from work I was so red my boss thought I had Scarlett fever! I didn't but latter after working till I could not walk I was tested three times. Twice came back negative then finally came back possitive! To bad it wasn't found back in mid to late 60's when I told doctors my legs felt as though they were rotting from inside out! Wasn't diagnosed till 1996 or 1997. By then it was almost to late by the time it was found doctor said he didn't know when or if I would ever walk again! Its a horrible disease a lot of pain, acheyness, arthritis amongst other body problems! Allergic to everything so I can't really do anything but suffer through it. Spent 11-12 years in wheel chair and or crutches still can't be on legs long 10-15 minutes at a time!

[hurricaneoverlord]

I’m going to the doctor today because i have it

[michellelovesanimals]

anti biotics cannot break thru the biofilm that surrounds the little shits

[alysynwonderland]

I know a girl that just died from this not too long ago. So sad.

[BrennerProductions]

The problem with wearing long pants and tucking in your shirt is you won’t feel ticks when they get on you, then they crawl up and bite somewhere where it’s hard to find them, like behind your ears. It’s easier to find ticks on bare legs before or after they bite. Check and brush off your legs and feet after walking through tall grass.

[maddonut]

Can a tick bite make me allergic to water? Ive been unable to consume water or ice for the last 4 years. No swimming. To water in my mouth at all or i will black out or have a seizure. Wheat, corn, eggs and dairy now make my stomach bleed.

It was over night. I have had many longer term symptoms but this is the last straw.

[breanne]

If IgG/IgM Antibody Test is 0.72 does that mean exposure to Lyme disease at some point in ur life? I know it's a negative result, Im just curious if it indicates exposure?

[nankumbigrace]

Looks like a" Target sign post"

[Googlysaur]

Can ticks go unconscious after subject to brute force? I saw one crawling up to bite me and I decided it would be funny if I pinched one and flicked it in the head with my finger several times, and it was funny but then it stopped moving.

[jenmonty]

Lyme disease sucks. Don't get it.
