Lyme disease is a serious illness caused by the bite of an infected blacklegged tick. Each year, tens of thousands of cases are reported in the United States. Common symptoms include fever, chills, fatigue, joint pain, and a distinctive bull's-eye rash. Early detection and treatment are crucial. Protect yourself by avoiding tall grass, using insect repellent, and checking your body for ticks after outdoor activities.
