This bulls-eye rash is a classic and specific indicator of Lyme disease, not COVID-19.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The main symptoms of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/patients-visitors\/coronavirus-covid-19-information\">COVID-19<\/a>, an infectious disease caused by the coronavirus, are cough, fever, and difficulty breathing. You can protect yourself from COVID-19 by washing your hands frequently, avoiding touching your face, wearing a face mask around other people, and practicing physical distancing by avoiding close contact with people who do not live in your household.<\/p>\n<p>Ticks do not travel very far on their own, but can be transported by deer and other animals from the grassy and woodsy areas where they are most prevalent. \u00a0With more people staying indoors, the tick population may increase in residential neighborhoods as wildlife ventures further out of their natural habitat.<\/p>\n<p>To protect yourself from Lyme disease, use insect repellent, wear long-sleeved clothing, and frequently check yourself, your children, and your pets for ticks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe good news is, if you have previously been diagnosed with Lyme disease and it was detected early and treated with antibiotics, you are not at higher risk for contracting COVID-19,\u201d says Dr. Nahra.<\/p>\n<h3>Coronavirus vs.

UU. Durante los meses de verano, se reportan hasta 10 veces m\u00e1s casos de enfermedad de Lyme que en el invierno.<\/p>\n<p>La enfermedad de Lyme y COVID-19 tiene s\u00edntomas similares, como fiebre, cansancio y dolor de cabeza. \u00bfC\u00f3mo puedes decir la diferencia? Los expertos de Cooper pueden ayudarlo.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;La enfermedad de Lyme puede ser dif\u00edcil de diagnosticar porque sus s\u00edntomas a menudo imitan a los de otras condiciones&#8221;, dice <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/doctors\/raquel-nahra-md\">Raquel Nahra, MD<\/a>, especialista en enfermedades infecciosas de Cooper University Health Care. &#8220;Sin embargo, el s\u00edntoma inicial primario de la enfermedad de Lyme en la mayor\u00eda de los casos es una erupci\u00f3n de ojo de buey reveladora en el sitio de la picadura. Esta erupci\u00f3n de ojo de buey es un indicador cl\u00e1sico y espec\u00edfico de la enfermedad de Lyme, no COVID-19 &#8220;.<\/p>\n<p>Los principales s\u00edntomas de COVID-19, una enfermedad infecciosa causada por el coronavirus, son tos, fiebre y dificultad para respirar. Puede protegerse del COVID-19 lav\u00e1ndose las manos con frecuencia, evitando tocarse la cara, usando una m\u00e1scara facial cerca de otras personas y practicando el distanciamiento f\u00edsico evitando el contacto cercano con personas que no viven en su hogar.<\/p>\n<p>Las garrapatas no viajan muy lejos por s\u00ed solas, pero pueden ser transportadas por venados y otros animales desde las \u00e1reas verdes y boscosas donde son m\u00e1s frecuentes. Con m\u00e1s personas que permanecen en el interior, la poblaci\u00f3n de garrapatas puede aumentar en los barrios residenciales a medida que la vida silvestre se aventura m\u00e1s lejos de su h\u00e1bitat natural.<\/p>\n<p>Para protegerse de la enfermedad de Lyme, use repelente de insectos, use ropa de manga larga y revise frecuentemente a usted, a sus hijos y a sus mascotas para detectar garrapatas.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;La buena noticia es que si previamente le diagnosticaron la enfermedad de Lyme y la detectaron temprano y la trataron con antibi\u00f3ticos, no tiene mayor riesgo de contraer COVID-19&#8221;, dice el Dr. Nahra.<\/p>\n<h3>Tabla de s\u00edntomas de coronavirus versus enfermedad de Lyme<\/h3>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td
