And they've particularly cured it if they get on antibiotics very quickly.
So one of the weird things about Lyme disease is the bite has like a little target around it.
It's like it almost looks like a bullseye because the infection, as it grows, there's a red circle around the bite.

You can actually get off of it, depending on the severity of your case, obviously.
