Really nervous that possible 3-5 spider bites in jun 2021 gave me lyme disease? waiting on test results. so far lupus, ra and test for autoimmune disease all came out negative. i really hope if positive, this is 100% curable?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I do not think spider can transmit Lyme disease. Yes, the disease can be cured with a 10 day course of antibiotic but some people may have post-Lyme disease syndromes which may take months to resolve.
