Quantcast Lyme disease frequently presents as a red or pink circle that is short-lived, sometimes disappearing before the rash is noticed by the person affected. The rash of Lyme disease typically consists of a red or pink circle, or sometimes a ring within a ring appearing like a bull's-eye. This is a classic presentation of Lyme disease, with a pink circle appearing to spread outward from the tick bite. The tick of Lyme disease is very small. This ruler is in millimeters, showing a tick that is 3 mm in length.

Who's At Risk
Lyme disease is transmitted by infected ticks and cannot be "caught" from an infected person. Individuals who spend a lot of time in or near wooded areas are at a higher risk for contracting Lyme disease. Lyme disease is reported most often in the Northeastern US from Maine to Maryland, in the Midwest in Minnesota and Wisconsin, and in the West in Oregon and Northern California. It has also been reported in China, Europe, Japan, Australia, and the parts of the former Soviet Union.
