Hi,

Is there a relatively "usual" time frame between the tick bite and onset of Bell's Palsy?

I have no clue. Maybe you can find it here:

Wild Condor's Links and information:

PS...If the first link is too overwhelming for you, look thru the second link.

In my opinion, Bell's Palsy can develop at any point in time after a tickbite. Hubby did not develop Bell's Palsy until at least 3 years after becoming ill.

Bell's Palsy is a result of Lyme or some other infection attacking a specific cranial nerve -- I think it is the 7th cranial nerve.
