💡 If you have an EM rash, no test is needed - start treatment immediately. Blood tests (ELISA → Western blot) can miss Lyme early on, so symptoms & history matter too.

Ticks are tiny - these two were embedded and easy to miss.

After time outdoors, check everywhere: under socks, waistbands, hairlines, toes... It only takes one bite.

🕷 Bitten by a tick? Remove it ASAP with fine-tipped tweezers—pull straight up, no twisting or crushing.

✅ Clean the bite
✅ Note date & location
✅ Watch for rash or flu-like symptoms

See your GP if unwell. Early treatment matters.
