MAIN Health Diseases Lyme Disease. Lyme disease (sometimes mistakenly referred to as lime disease) is a disease carried by deer ticks which was first identified and diagnosed in Lyme, Connecticut. It sometimes produces a well-known bull's eye rash around the tick bite - but not always. It can be effectively treated with antibiotics in the early stages. However, if left untreated Lyme disease may result in a myriad of more serious symptoms.
