If you think you’ve been bitten by a tick, please watch this. In this video, I document my real-life journey with Lyme disease—starting from the moment I thought I had a simple spider bite or mole.
​I’ll show you exactly what the "Bullseye" rash looks like as it grows, the scary symptoms I felt (like heart palpitations and dizziness), and how the antibiotics helped me recover in just a few days. My goal is to help you spot this early so you can get the help you need.
​In this video:
[00:15] - What the "Bullseye" rash looks like at 3 days
[01:25] - Diagnosis: It's a Deer Tick (Lyme Disease)
