4yme disease is often misdiagnosed. The common symptoms include fatigue,
headaches, and overall aches. (ach year more that 56,777 !mericans are
infected and many of those go untreated due to the lack of a correct diagnosis.
4yme disease is passed to humans through infected ticks. The first sure sign
of infection is a bulls,eye shaped rash at the site of the tick bite. -any people
dont even reali+e they have been e"posed until the rash appears. Some people
do not develop the signature rash, which makes diagnosis of 4yme disease even
more difficult.
! blood test can confirm diagnosis. !ntibiotics can be used to successfully
treat 4yme disease once a diagnosis has been made.
If you will be e"posed to an area where ticks are known to e"ist, cover
yourself thoroughly with light colored clothing. $ou can also use deet,
containing insect repellant to help repel ticks and other insects. If you find a tick
on your skin simply remove it with twee+ers and then apply a disinfectant to the
bite area. 8emember where the bite was so you can check for a rash to appear
anytime during the ne"t month.

outbreaks have effected over D6 percent of A1 users and, of those, 6E percent lost
data as a result. In fact, a startling 5C percent of the people surveyed had
