I saw and felt no tick bite, and had no rash. but I went to a country area for just one day in 2003 and started feeing 'fluey' with brain fog with other sx just two weeks later. So now I can pinpoint when I must have been bitten.
As a city gal I knew nothing about Lyme disease, and with the severe brain fog, couldn't even think.
I was conclusively diagnosed by Igenex with Lyme in 2004 and diagnosis was determined as such by all docs - INCLUDING MAINSTREAM DOCS- after seeing Igenex results.
Today these same mainstream docs would deny I still have Lyme.
Am under LLMD's care but and am still struggling with Lyme and co. today.

No tick, no rash.
I did have a tick attached to me when I was a kid; but I didn't get sick until 35 years later. I'm not one that believes I was infected years before becoming ill; so I'm going with no tick, no rash.
I think was bitten on a golf course near my home. I did have some kind of bite mark, but it looked nothing like a tick rash. It was small and faded within a few hours. I was ill a few weeks later.
