The disease is named after the town of Lyme, Connecticut, USA, where a number of cases were identified in 1975. Read these lyme disease symptoms that are very severe:
• Pain that moves from joint to joint
• Severe headaches and neck stiffness, possibly indicating meningitis (infection or inflammation of the sac around the brain and spinal cord)
• Severe swelling in the knees or joints
• Weakness or paralysis in the muscles of the face
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) defines this rash as a skin lesion that typically begins as a red spot and expands over a period of days to weeks to form a large round lesion, at least 5 cm (about 2 inches) across.
