Lyme disease is an infection caused by a bacteria called spirochete. The disease is carried by deer ticks and western black-legged ticks. Deer ticks can be found in the northeastern and north-central part of the United States. Black legged ticks are found on the pacific coast. The ticks spread the disease to an animal or human through a bite.
Symptoms- a sign that one could have lyme disease is a rash which can appear 3 to 30 days after the tick bite. The rash creates a red ring around the bite creating a "bulls eye", but that is not true for all cases. In some cases they may have many red spots, or the rash may burn or itch.
The disease is treatable. In most cases of treatment it will take 14-30 days of antibiotics to kill the bateria.
To prevent tick bites or lyme disease wear light colored clothing that covers most of your skin. The light colored clothing makes it easier to see the ticks and to remove them from your clothing.
