Lantus is a long-acting insulin that may look like a rapid- or short-acting insulin. For example, Lantus and Apidra (a rapid-acting insulin) are both clear medicines in elongated vials (or insulin pens) that look similar. To make them look different, put a rubber band around one type of insulin.
Lyme disease symptoms can appear quickly or gradually over time, and they are incredibly varied and can wax and wane. The first physical signs of Lyme infection are often flu-like symptoms â sore throat, headaches, congestion, stiffness, etc. â so many people, including doctors, dismiss the symptoms as the flu or the common cold. During its nymph stage, a tick is only about the size of a period on a sentence.
Symptoms. 1  A bull's-eye rash (erythema migrans) is the most definitive sign of Lyme disease infection. 2  Other symptoms may accompany the rash, such as joint pain, fever, chills, or fatigue. 3  If Lyme disease is not treated, more severe symptoms and complications can occur. The disease is caused by ticks that carry the bacterial organism Rickettsia rickettsii, and is considered the most severe tick-borne illness in the United States. 2  Unlike Lyme disease, which is rarely fatal, untreated Rocky Mountain spotted fever causes death in about 10% of all cases.
