Lyme Disease in Kids: Identifying Symptoms and Effective Treatment Options

  • Resumen

  • In this week's episode of BeeHive Doc Talks, Dr. Blair Rolnick discusses Lyme disease and tick bites, particularly in New Jersey, where the disease is endemic. Lyme disease is transmitted by black-legged ticks in their nymph stage, originating from white-footed mice. Dr. Rolnick emphasizes the importance of daily tick checks, proper tick removal using tweezers, and saving the tick for potential testing. Symptoms of Lyme disease range from the bullseye rash, fevers, and muscle pains in early stages to severe headaches and joint stiffness in later stages.

    For prevention, Dr. Rolnick advises wearing protective clothing, using DEET, and adhering to tick check routines. Timely removal of ticks (within 36 hours) can prevent the disease. Understanding and acting upon these prevention and treatment measures can significantly reduce Lyme disease risk for your family.
