What Causes Red Colored Eyes, Fever, Headache And Dizziness After Insect Bite?

Hello Dr., I was bit by something in the woods on Vancouver Island on June 16. Now I am back in California and as of last Friday 7/11 my eyes are blood red, I am very tired, have slight fever, headache, can barely move, have stiff neck and my right knee is very swollen, I am not able to walk. I am very athletic and did not injure myself. I read about Lyme disease symptoms and it seems that most of mine just fit in. What should I do? Thank you. I am 57 years old healthy man.

Infectious Diseases Specialist,  's  Response
Hi there..Welcome to HCM.

This is Dr Jigar(Infectious Disease specialist).

You should immediately see specialist doctor for this. He will decide what type tests should be done and give treatment accordingly.

This seems to be vector borne. If you had provided what thing bite you then picture would have been more clear. You should be going for detailed blood tests for general counts and markers and also go for immunological tests for ricketssia, lyme's disease and other disease prevalent in california.

I hope this will be helpful for you.
Do not hesitate to buzz again if you need further help.

Regards.
Dr Jigar.
