When you travel on a camping holiday or vacation to wooded areas, it should be a fun experience. Most times it is. However, Lyme disease which is caused by ticks that have been infected can ruin enjoyable holidays and vacations.
Vacationers, campers, and travelers alike can be at risk for contracting Lyme disease, a serious, debilitating condition caused by being bitten by an infected tick.
What are the common symptoms of Lyme disease?
Some of the symptoms of Lyme disease are the classic bull’s-eye red rash, fatigue or loss of energy, feeling sleepy, tingling and numbness, swollen and painful joints, memory loss, and feeling like you are getting the flu. Paralysis of the face is a less common symptom.
Getting Lyme disease can make your life miserable and cause a lot of pain and suffering if it’s not diagnosed and treated right away. The longer it takes you to see a doctor allows this disease to progress rapidly and it may not be possible to lessen it’s effects.
