How do they test to see if a patient has Lyme Disease?

# data[].attributes.body
The western blot test, tests to see if you have any of the 10 common antibodies of lyme, if you have at least 3 you are diagnosed with lyme. This test isn't always accurate, because lyme can hide itself in its own saliva, and the immune system is not alerted to it, so no antibodies would be produced.

What is the difference between initial and chronic Lyme Disease?

# data[].attributes.body
In the initial stages of Lyme Disease the symptoms are more like the flu or a cold. It's hard to catch it because the bacteria disguises itself, but if you catch it in the first 3-30 days you can treat it with antibiotics. On the other hand, chronic Lyme Disease's symptoms are more severe and affect your day-to-day life. It's also harder to treat with antibiotics because of how much the bacteria has spread throughout your body and created protective mechanisms against medication. -Grace & Yu Qian

Does the red ring form around the bitten area?

# data[].attributes.body
Yes a red ring forms around three to 30 days after an infected tick bite, an red area might appear that sometimes is clear in the center. This circle looks like a bull's-eye pattern. The rash (erythema migrans) expands slowly over days and can spread to 12 inches across. Once you spot this type of rash get medical care because ticks can cause other serious diseases, such as Rocky Mountain. ~Mckenzie Yanke

Yes, Lyme disease can spread through your whole body. It starts wherever the tick bites you, and then travels through your blood flow all over your body. After a little while it goes into hiding and hides in your tissue anywhere in the body, then after your immune system becomes vulnerable it comes out and spreads all over your body. It also spreads throughout all of your systems and goes through every part of your body.

The tick gets bacteria in your body by biting through your skin. Ticks can latch onto any part of your body, but the most common spots that you find a tick is in the spots hardest to check, like your armpits, behind your ears, and your scalp. The tick has to be attached for 24-48 hours to actually transmit Lyme disease- so if you find a tick on you that just showed up five minutes ago, don't worry. While most people would think that it's most common to get bit by an adult tick, it's actually the immature ticks called Nymphs that are very tiny that usually transmit Lyme Disease. -Josephine Wallace
