The incubation period for Lyme disease typically ranges from 3 to 30 days after a tick bite, with an average of about 7 to 14 days. During this time, the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi, transmitted by infected ticks, begin to multiply in the host's body. Early symptoms may include fatigue, fever, headache, and the characteristic erythema migrans rash. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are crucial to preventing more severe symptoms and complications.
