After discovering a tick bite, it is necessary to remove the entire tick with tools such as a tick tweezer. Ensure that the tick is removed completely. Even an improperly removed tick can cause Lyme disease. It is important that Lyme disease is diagnosed quickly. The sooner the disease is diagnosed, the better the treatment will work. Lyme disease is a bacterial infection and is therefore treated with antibiotics.

General Practitioner

After a tick bite, the tick should be removed completely immediately. A red ring may develop on the skin. If symptoms such as headaches, fever, and muscle pain (flu-like symptoms) appear within three months after the tick bite, it is important to visit your general practitioner. They will then prescribe antibiotics. If no ring has developed around the bite and symptoms do occur, the doctor can perform a blood test to diagnose the disease.

After treatment with antibiotics, you are not immune to Lyme disease. It can occur again.
