Guest guest Posted May 23, 2000 Report Share Posted May 23, 2000 Hi can you tell me what is Lyme disease? what are the true symptoms? thanks magaly Hi, Magaly Just heard about this on the radio last week. Here's what I learned: The disease is spread by field mice droppings and more often by deer ticks. Walking around in places where deer hang out is where you would get bitten by the tick. The tick bite swells and looks like a bull's eye. The initial symptoms are that of a bad flu. This disease, if not treated a.s.a.p., can cause permanent damage and cause other problems like Lupus. It affects the nervous system, I believe. The treatment takes several months. This is one bad disease to have. The reporter said to wear light colored clothing and tuck pants into socks when walking where deer frequent. This helps to see the ticks, which are black. It's off-topic, but very important to know.
