Lyme disease is the most common insect-borne disease in the U.S. with approximately 20,000 new cases reported annually. The disease takes its name from Lyme, Connecticut where it was first described and studied in 1975. It is caused by Borrelia burgdorferi and other closely related species of bacteria. The bacteria is transmitted to animals and humans through the bite of an infected blacklegged or deer tick. Immature ticks are very tiny and can be difficult to see, which can increase the possibility of undetected tick exposures.
Within the first few days to weeks of the infection, a rash may develop. It’s generally red and circular. Sometimes it has a bull’s-eye pattern. Though it’s a major sign of acute Lyme disease, many infected people don’t get the rash.
During this early stage, symptoms may include aches, pains, fever, chills, headache, and swollen glands. Like other short-term infections, this may last a few weeks. It’s easier to diagnose and treat at this stage.
Chronic Lyme disease, also called “late Lyme,” is much different. Signs of illness may appear gradually over time or may have never entirely subsided with earlier treatment. In some cases, major physical or emotional stress brings out the disease.
Symptoms may include joint pain, joint swelling, heart palpitations, dizziness, severe fatigue, and neurological problems such as numbness and tingling in the hands or feet, foggy thinking and short-term memory loss. These may become more debilitating over time.
