The infection can also cause skin conditions and arthritis. It is caused by \u003ci\u003eBorrelia\u003c\/i\u003e bacteria, primarily transmitted through tick bites. Ticks are insects commonly found in forests and shrubs throughout temperate climates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf a tick is infected with \u003ci\u003eBorrelia\u003c\/i\u003e bacteria, the infection can be transmitted to humans through a bite on the arm, leg, or any other exposed part of the body. The risk of transmission is approximately 1%–2%. Signs of infection typically appear 3 to 10 days after a bite—though sometimes weeks or months later—in the form of a characteristic erythema (skin redness). This redness occurs at the site of the bite and often appears as a \"bullseye\" ring that expands over time, with a pale center.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFever may also occur alongside the rash. When infected, the immune system responds by producing antibodies against the \u003ci\u003eBorrelia\u003c\/i\u003e bacteria. A specific type of antibody, \u003cb\u003eImmunoglobulin M (IgM)\u003c\/b\u003e, can be detected in the blood \u003cb\u003e2 to 4 weeks after infection\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhen should I perform the test?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cb\u003eEasy Home Lyme Disease Test\u003c\/b\u003e should be used \u003cb\u003e2 to 4 weeks after a tick bite\u003c\/b\u003e, or immediately if a characteristic circular rash appears at the site of the bite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat is the test used for?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis test is intended for the at-home detection of \u003ci\u003eBorrelia\u003c\/i\u003e antibodies in the blood.
