Signs of Lyme Disease

7. Peripheral Neuropathy
If not treated in time, Lyme disease can begin to cause damage to the system of nerves that exist away from the central nervous system. This results in a number of unwelcome symptoms, and it can lead to severe permanent damage if it is not addressed in time.
Symptoms caused by peripheral neuropathy include sensations of tingling and numbness. The patient might also struggle to have full control over their muscles, while even simple tasks can become harder than before to complete. It can also cause issues like a change in the patient’s sense of taste, and some patients will also experience facial palsy.
