A member asked:
How long after a tick bite would you start to see symptoms of lyme disease?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
1-2 weeks: If the tick was carrying the bacteria borrelia burgdorferi and the bacteria was transmitted via the bite then most individuals will develop a flu like illness with fevers and muscle pains within a week or two. About half will also develop a bullseye rash at the site of the bite.
