If you don’t treat Lyme disease early on, it can turn into an inflammatory condition that affects multiple systems, starting with your skin, joints, and nervous system and moving to organs later on. The chances you might get Lyme disease from a tick bite depend on the kind of tick, where you were when it bit you, and how long the tick was attached to you.

Can lyme disease recur?

Yes, Lyme disease can recur, but this typically occurs in two ways: through reinfection with the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi or as a result of lingering symptoms after initial treatment, known as post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome (PTLDS). Reinfection can happen if an individual is bitten by a tick carrying the bacteria again. PTLDS may cause persistent symptoms even after the infection has been treated, but it is not considered a true recurrence of the disease.
