Infectious Diseases Lyme Disease

Every tick-borne disease has its own particular set of symptoms

In general, you may experience a rash and flu-like symptoms about 7 to 10 days after an infection. For Lyme disease, the most common scenario is a rash at the site of the tick bite that measures more than two inches in diameter, plus aches and pains. People who have ehrlichiosis or Rocky Mountain spotted fever may suffer from fever, chills or a headache. For tulamaria, which is very rare, there are also symptoms of sore throat, diarrhea and vomiting.
