Treating Lyme disease

See a healthcare provider as early as possible if:

  • You have symptoms OR
  • You feel unwell in the weeks following a bite OR
  • You feel unwell and have recently been in an area where ticks may live (even if no bite is evident)

Tell your healthcare provider about your tick bite or where you were. If you were bitten and saved the tick, bring it to your medical appointment.

The earlier treatment is received, the better. Most cases of Lyme disease can be treated successfully with a few weeks of antibiotics.

For more information about Lyme disease, call the Eastern Ontario Health Unit at 613-933-1375 or 1-800-267-7120.
