Although the classic bullseye
tick bite rash is a symptom of
lyme disease, you do not always need to get a rash to have the disease
- this is a major misunderstanding with many people.
Did you know that 50% of people that get bitten by a tick do not even
realize that they have been bitten and the same proportion do not even
get a rash. This maybe due to the rash simply
not appearing or due to it being in a very discreet place like under
the hair or behind the ears.

The
above photos show many different rashes. It is a misconception that the
bullseye tick bite rash will only appear in one area as it can appear
in more than one place at a time.
Notice that the rash can show anywhere, including underarm, on the
legs, the face, back, toes, neck, groin anywhere!

Notice
the photo above of the classic red
bumpy rash under the breasts.
This can obviously be extremely embarrassing but it is extremely
important that you get medical treatment at the earliest stage as this
can be critical in treating the disease.
If you fail to get a rash or notice a rash for some reason, symptoms of
lyme
disease can take weeks, months and even years before they
appear. The symptoms will often come and go sometimes appearing years
later.
