Within the hundreds of known species of ticks, few pose a real threat. However, the East Coast is home to the dangerous Ixodes Scapularis, a carrier of Lyme disease. Lyme disease is spread by a tick feeding from an infected species, then biting another animal or human. <\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\">\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">If you\u2019ve been exposed to any woody areas or tall grass, brushy areas, or have a job that involves working outside, you have a greater risk of Lyme disease.

If the test results are positive, our physicians will administer a western-bolt test to identify any other possible issues. It is important to remember that not everyone infected with Lyme disease will show a positive result. Additionally, a patient who experiences all the symptoms may have a false-positive result. These inaccuracies can be a result of a test administered too close to the date of infection, or immunity. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">The test results will be most accurate within three weeks of infection.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Fast recovery is directly related to diagnosis in the early stages, which is within the first month of infection.
