What does Lyme disease feel like?
Lyme disease is an infection that derives from a tick bite. Lyme disease symptoms may be:
• drowsiness
• headaches
• mild fever
• joint and muscle pains
• swollen lymph glands.
In a minority of untreated cases, the symptoms of late-stage Lyme disease can develop after many months, or even years. As with mid-stage Lyme disease, the symptoms can affect both the joints and the nervous system. Simply seeing a tick somewhere on your body does not mean that you have contracted Lyme disease. Lyme disease is not contagious, so it can't be transmitted from person to person. But people can get it more than once from ticks that live on deer, in the woods, or travel on pets.
