When I got Lyme as a teenager I was very lucky to notice a bulls-eye pattern (which not everyone gets) and quickly get treatment, with no complications after. I wonder if this new drug, or any future drugs, that work for the 20% of the people that doxycycline doesn't help, will also help people who figured out they had Lyme very late after being infected.

I had a similar experience. I had a tick bite on my ear and didn't think much about it. A week or two later I noticed a secondary bullseye rash on my leg. I am also very lucky that my mother knew what it was and I was treated quickly with no complications.

I got rashes like those, in New York, and saw a dermatologist who seemed to have great difficulty recognizing them.

I got the regular treatment and it all cleared up, but it was an odd experience.

Yes, those are the ones that most desperately need treatment.
