Hi,
I'm trying to find out some information about Lyme disease.

We came home from a camping trip this weekend, and on Sunday evening we found two ticks on my husband. I removed them with tweezers and bagged the ticks.

Two days later (yesterday) we began to see some bruising around one of the sites, and by last night it was pretty severe, starting to take on a circular pattern.

I did some internet research and it's hard to tell if this might be Lyme or not.

Can you help me? Do you know of an LLMD in North Carolina?

Thank you.

Oh, and I have a picture of the bite if that is helpful.

Hi, have you checked out the online state group North Carolina Lyme? The URL is http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/northcarolinalyme

There is a group for each state, and sometimes people in your state will know about resources. Also the state groups are useful for political action.
