Lymes disease - Problem with Diagnosis Approach

One of the major characteristics of Lymes disease is the Bulls eye rash.

When present it is considered a clear sign of Lymes disease.
Some practitioners make the mistake by trying to confirm this by doing a blood test and waiting for the results as a confirmation.

There is a problem with this approach. These are:
1. By the time test comes back the Lymes disease will have advanced to chronic stage

2. It takes about three weeks(or more) for antibodies to start showing the blood

3) Blood test may come out negative even if you have Lymes.

If you have bulls eye sign you should immediately start the threatment and don't wait.

In the next post I will show you how the bulls eye sign looks like.

Til later
