Lyme Disease Has Spread Throughout Great Lakes States. ....INCLUDING INDIANA. Lyme Disease, a malady usually transmitted by the bite of a tiny deer tick is on the rampage in the Great Lakes states and anyone who spends time outdoors should take extra steps to protect against tick bites.

With a tick-bite reaction, the red area does not expand over 24 to 48 hours. Small reactions at the bite site can last days to weeks. The earliest stage of Lyme disease occurs at the site of the tick bite. If the rash is Lyme, it will get bigger over days or weeks and will not fade over the next few days. Only 2% of tick bites result in Lyme disease. A Lyme rash occurs at the site of the tick bite in 80% of people who have early Lyme disease.
