Is this true or false against lyme disease?

It is diagnosed by detecting antibody against deer ticks?Is this true or false against lyme disease?
False


A ';bulls-eye'; rash following possible tick exposure is the way doctors diagnosis Lyme disease. The Western blot test (which looks at certain proteins specific to lyme borrelia in your blood) is used for most lab confirmed diagnosis.Is this true or false against lyme disease?
usually the diagnosis is made by the symptomology: a small, sunburn-like rash, headaches, dizziness, and general neurological dysfunction.


the anti bodies are your body's reaction to the infection the mite gave you, but the testing for it has to be done within two weeks of the rash to be reliable
