I've been struggling with Lyme now after being misdiagnosed for years. Some things you should know: If you are bitten, save the tick with a wet cotton ball in a plastic bag. You can send it in for testing for a reasonable fee that is well worth the peace of mind. If you are bitten, you may not see a rash. Many lyme patients don't. Be aware of other Lyme symptoms since they are diverse and often associated with other ailments. www.underourskin.com can point you to many other Lyme resources. If caught early, Lyme is easily treated. Left undiagnosed, it can be severe and recovery can take years. Lyme blood tests and interpretation are unreliable. You can have Lyme and still test "negative". Tick prevention is best, followed by knowledge of symptoms and your own health. Many doctors also don't prescribe antibiotics for the full one month lifecycle of the bacteria. Get the full month, not two weeks. Stay healthy and keep caching!
