A member asked:
How much time does it take for lyme disease to weaken your immune system?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not an issue: Lyme disease doesn't weaken the immune system or cause opportunistic infection. The rash of lyme disease (erythema migrans) may begin a week after a tic bite. Other features of the disease may occur weeks, months, or even years after the initial infection.
