Lyme Disease, Tick Bite & Rash Question

Tick Bite & Rash Question

Author	Message
Someon #1 / 6	Tick Bite & Rash Question In order to have Lyme Disease, must the EM rash be directly located at the bite area? I was bitten between my fingers while sleeping, but an EM rash (identical to a picture I saw on the LDF web site) appeared on my forearm several days following the bite. Is this possible? Must the rash appear at the bite scene? I've seen some sites that state the bite and rash must be at the same site, others state otherwise. Thanks.

E Pearl #2 / 6	Tick Bite & Rash Question There is the distinct possibility that you may have been bitten more than once.

Someon #3 / 6	Tick Bite & Rash Question But if that was so, the tick would not have been there more then a couple of hours. In other words, from your post, should I assume that YES you have to have the rash where you were bitten? When I removed the tick in between my fingers, I just grabbed it and pulled it out, more then likely squishing it in the process...

JBernos #4 / 6	Tick Bite & Rash Question No,I had multi rashes. Back of the knee where the tick bit me, in the groin area, the very middle of my stomach, under the arm, on the side of my neck and the side of my face. My infectious doctor told me it was going around my lymph system. I also had a fever of least 102' most of the time.

In answer to your query, I was bitten by a tick (which was on my dog) in the summer of 97 and that was on my forearm. I later developed the ring rash on the underside of my hand-same arm. There was a single larger ring at the point of bite which I first thought looked as though I had ringworm but on the hand were multiple rings. Unfortunately at that time I had no knowledge of Lyme. I have since learned that some people never see the ERM rash at all and as mine came and went within a day I too could have missed it if it had appeared somewhere else on my body. Hope this is helpful to you.
