Question: What can you get from a tick besides Lyme Disease!?

My mom was just admitted to the hospital for an illness related to a tick bite!. She had flu symptoms and severe nausea!. What could it be!? They are treating her with intravenous antibiotics for 10-14 days!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:

Flu symptoms and severe nausea sounds like Lyme disease!. (Since you're asking for more diseases, sounds like she probably tested negative for Lyme!. Be advised that Lyme lab tests are notoriously unreliable!. They often say you don't have it when in fact you do!.)

However, ticks can give you all kinds of nasty things in addition to Lyme, sometimes several of them at the same time: babesia, bartonella, mycoplasma, erlichia, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, tick fever and tick paralysis are just a few to get you started!.

I recommend you check out the following websites for information about Lyme and other tick-borne infections!.
