Lyme disease, also known as Lyme borreliosis, is an infectious disease caused by the bacteria Borrelia sp., which is spread by ticks. The most common sign of infection is a spreading area of reddened skin, called erythema migrans, which starts within about a week at the site of the tick bite. The rash is usually neither itchy nor painful. Approximately 25-50% of infected people do not get a tick bite at all. Other early symptoms may include fever, headache and fatigue. If left untreated, symptoms may include inability to move one or both sides of the face, joint pain, severe headaches with neck stiffness etc.
