Signs of Lyme Disease

8. Light Sensitivity
All of us are sensitive to bright lights to a degree, often shielding our eyes and turning away instinctively when faced with a light that is too bright. This is for a very good reason as a light that is too bright can cause permanent damage to our eyes.
While light sensitivity is normal, Lyme disease can cause people to become more sensitive to it than they usually otherwise would be. The patient might feel as though they need to stay in a darkened room where possible. They might also need to turn to sunglasses, even when they are indoors.
