Linda’s comments: This is why education and awareness is so very important to everyone…college students are having to drop out of college because of becoming so ill from Lyme….step it up folks….educate and you know…
Excerpt:
A 20-year-old white college student, with no significant medical
history, presented to the emergency department in March 2009 with
symptoms of fever, headache, neck stiffness, and vomiting for 3 days.
Four days before evaluation, he had noticed an erythematous
maculopapular skin rash over the right antecubital fossa.
