Did the ticks stay attached for more than 24 hours?That is likely how the Borrelia burgdoferi bacteria entered your bloodstream. The tick acted as a vector that transmitted the pathogens.
Yes, I didn’t notice it until the next day.
You have a bull’s-eye rash, fever, and joint pain, which are common symptoms of Lyme disease. your symptoms are currently moderate, which means early treatment is very important.

Lyme disease is treated with antibiotics which killed the bacteria and prevent complications. You must take the full dose to stop the infection.You should wear long sleeves, use insect repellent, and check your skin for ticks after being outdoors. Removing ticks quickly lowers the risk of infection.
How can I prevent this in the future?
To prevent an outbreak in the community people should avoid tick infested areas, report symptoms early, and practice disease preventions, and public health safety.
