Hi, my name is Abdullah. I will be your medical consultant and will educate you all about your disease. What do I call you?
I would like to ask you couple of questions.Where did you go last week?Did you walk your dog in a grassy area?Have you ordered food from a restaurant?
Oh yes!I went to my football training, which is on a grassy field.I did not order food, however, I took my dog on a walk.
Yes, most probably. it is a tick bite.
I believe that you got bitten by an infected tick. However, might have gotten it either directly or indirectly from your dog.
I feel tired. I have feverfor 2 nights.I have big red rash onmy leg and headache.
How do you feel?What symptoms do you have?I will admit you to the hospital for treatment and more tests.
