sadlersville Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Hi, I have just found a classic bulls-eye tick bite mark on my lower leg since having returned from Italy I know I'm going to have to go to my GP here for blood work & antibiotics but will this result in any complications for a future application to emigrate out to Oz? My husband and both children have full citizenship & my application would be for a spouse visa. Has anyone had any experience of this? Many thanks, Kat.

ali Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 With any illness it seems to depend on the prognosis over the next 5 years and if that's likely to be of cost to Australia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roger2shirts Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Lymmes Disease does not officially exist in humans in Australia so its possibly a non issue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it does, they thought hubby may have had Lyme disease before they diagnosed Parkinson's. I also know that a number of people in one of my support groups have Lyme disease. To the OP I wouldn't worry too much you would be very unlucky to have caught Lyme disease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think it's a questionable diagnosis here, I know someone who was diagnosed with it then told that they didn't have it (but are unwell just the same).

Guest Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 If it is Lyme disease you will need to be treated asap in the UK. Treatment for Lyme disease should not be held off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
