Late-Stage Lyme Disease, Patient Information

Deer Ticks are so tiny that they are easily mistaken for flecks of dirt, freckles or moles. The Deer Tick has 8 legs (e.g., looks like a “freckle with legs”), and belongs to the spider family. In the nymph stage, it is the size of the period at the end of this sentence; in the adult stage it is about the size of a sesame seed. ................
