I did get Lyme disease. I had no idea that it was a thing because I did not get educated about it, not even about ticks. I was just fascinated by the bullseye and never went to see a doctor.
Sometime later I felt sick with fever and something like an itching inside the head, but since it went away, I never bothered with it again. I also never made a connection between this and the bullseye, maybe it was the cause.
I'm constantly wondering if it would be beneficial to talk to a doctor about it, but it was almost 25 years ago.
Similar thing happened to me. Got some bites, they went away. Didn’t think twice about it.
A month or two later, I got very ill, it was Advanced Neurological Lyme disease.
My vision loss was at about 30-40%, I still feel the arthritis all the time, but my vision is nearly entirely restored. One of the worst aspects was the cognitive loss.
For months I suddenly had ADHD-like symptoms, and had brain fog like I had the biggest bender of my life, for months. My spelling/grammar went down the drain, I still just miss words when writing. I wasn’t able to work for a long time, and am still recovering financially from this stupid bug bite.
Don’t mess around people, take prophylactic doxycycline dose.
