How to Find a Doctor Who Treats Lyme Disease

Finding a doctor who treats Lyme disease - the disease caused by bacteria and transmitted by the bite of a certain kind of tick - is simple. If you develop fever, headache, a tired feeling, and a rash that looks like a bull's-eye surrounding the area of the tick bite, you should see your regular doctor. If it is in fact Lyme disease, your doctor can treat it with a course of antibiotics. If you do not have a regular doctor, finding one is simple.
