The early signs of Lyme Disease

When bitten by a tick, there are a particular set of symptoms that indicate you have contracted Lyme Disease. Generally, these develop within the first few days of the bite. However, it isn’t uncommon for these symptoms to take several weeks to show.

The first symptoms that indicate an infection are:

• An expanding red rash
• A fever
• Joint and muscle pain
• Swollen Lymph Nodes
• Headaches

Once several weeks pass, more severe symptoms can develop: They include:

• Severe headaches
• Stiffness and swelling in the joints
• Heart palpitations
• Bell’s Palsy
• Shooting pains

The late signs of Lyme Disease

If left undiagnosed and untreated, further medical complications can develop. These symptoms are severe and can be devastating to your health. While it may take as little as a few months for these to appear, it isn’t uncommon for it to take years before they begin to affect you. Late signs of Lyme Disease include:

• Severe swelling and pain in the joints, in particular the knees
• Issues with memory
• Tingling hands
