Huh, I wonder if my executive dysfunction in part could be Lyme disease. I was bitten 10+ years ago - had to pull it off, though it hadn't been there long as it hadn't latched on deeply yet - it did cause a small ring; I did get and take short course of antibiotics immediately after as far as I remember.

I've heard common bloodwork done is very poor at detecting it but is there a better or sure way of detecting it?

The article states that Lyme disease is only transmitted if the tic latches on for over 36 hours. The bacteria is latent in the tic's gut until blood is ingested, at which point it takes 36 hours for the bacteria to multiply and migrate to the tic's salivary glands.

Ah thanks - well, perhaps the mark was just my body reacting to its beginning attempt to attach.

executive dysfunction could be due to so many things.

How did it begin and how did it progress?
