May is Lyme Disease Awareness Month!
This site will answer the question- What do I do if I get a tick bite?
There are 2 one page documents to print out and take to your doctor that have treating guidelines for a bite only, or a bite with symptoms.
The documents include information for adults and children.
There are also links to the official medical guidelines (in full), information on why the one-dose of Doxy doesn't work and is no longer recommended, how to test ticks and more.
The Lyme Disease Network is a non-profit organization funded by individual donations. If you would like to support the Network and the LymeNet system of Web services, please send your donations to:
