Test results for Lyme disease are unlikely to be positive until about 4 weeks AFTER the known tick bite. It takes our bodies that long to mount a measurable antibody response. There are problems with our current 2 tier testing methods, but the Western Blot (WB) tends to be more reliable than the ELISA.
How soon do Lyme disease symptoms occur? I had a deer tick attached to my chest when I woke up this morning. It was 19 hours after I first went into the woods. There is only a very slight reddening right at the bite area with no itching or other irritation. The tick did not appear to be very engorged with blood, and if I had to guess I would say it was an adult male based on it's size and coloring.
