Lyme Disease Test

Lyme disease is a tick-borne infection caused by the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi. The first symptom is usually a characteristic pink or red rash that starts as a small red spot that gradually spreads in a much larger circle. Note that Lyme disease has never been proven to be present in Australia and cases are typically linked to overseas travel.
