    • The recommended antibiotic treatment for Lyme disease is doxycycline.

    Transmission of Lyme Disease

    • The minimum duration of attachment required for the transmission of Lyme disease is 36 hours.

    Risk Factors for Tick-Borne Diseases

    • Common risk factors for tick-borne diseases include:
      • Outdoor activities (e.g. hiking, camping)
      • Living in areas with high tick populations
      • Not using insect repellent or protective clothing

    Modes of Transmission for Tick-Borne Diseases

    • Possible modes of transmission for tick-borne diseases include:
      • Through the bite of an infected tick
      • Through direct contact with infected animals (e.g. through a cut or scrape)

    Manifestations of Lyme Disease

    • A potential manifestation of Stage III (Chronic) Lyme disease is encephalitis (inflammation of the brain).
    • Lyme disease can be confused with a viral syndrome in its early stages.
    • The characteristic rash associated with Stage I (Acute) Lyme disease is erythema migrans (a circular, expanding rash).
    • In Stage II (Subacute) Lyme disease, symptoms typically include joint pain and swelling, particularly in the knees.
    • An untreated Lyme disease infection can potentially spread to the heart, joints, and nervous system.
