During a camping and hiking expedition in the Ice Age National Scenic Trail at Hartman Creek State Park (Waupaca, WI), an individual notices a mole that appears to be moving on his arm. After removing the partially embedded deer tick, what symptoms should this individual look for to indicate infection of Borrelia burgdorferi? Also, what should be done on future hiking trips to decrease the likelihood of B. burgdorferi infection?

Acute Lyme disease symptoms include backache, the chills, headache, and overall fatigue. Chemicals (e.g., DEET) that repel insects such as deer ticks should be applied all over the individual's body. Deer ticks are also attracted to white from the white-tailed deer they infect, so dark-colored clothing can also minimize B. borgdorferi infections. Also long protective clothing should be worn such as socks being tucked into boots and wearing snug collars and cuffs.
