How do you know if you have lyme disease?

Answer 1

A physician must diagnose Lyme Disease based on the results of lab tests and blood work.

A test called a Western Blot is used to diagnose Lyme Disease. However, there are cases where a patient has Lyme and it doesn't show up in some of the tests or when a false positive is given. The physician will make the diagnosis based on a variety of criteria. The bullseye rash isn't always present in patients but is a sign of Lyme disease if it is found. It may be necessary to go to a Lyme Disease Specialist in order to receive a diagnosis, especially in an area where Lyme Disease isn't prevalent.

Answer 2

See the doctor right away as treatment can be very important. Diagnostic failures cause much of the confusion associated with Lyme disease. It takes the tick at least thirty-six hours to transmit borrelia. If ticks are removed immediately, the threat of infection falls dramatically. But it takes weeks, and sometimes longer, for blood tests to detect antibodies; a test taken too soon will produce negative results. Even then, many people who become infected will test negative in error, while others who aren't infected will test positive. In about 75% of cases the "bull's eye is seen.

Answer 3

You would have blood rush eyes hey that's all I got for telling that you have Lyme disease
