U.S. Department of Health & Human Services  /  National Institutes of Health Lyme Disease Lyme disease is the most common tickborne infectious disease in the United States. It's caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, which is spread by deer ticks (also called blacklegged ticks). Common symptoms of Lyme disease include fever, headache, fatigue, and a red rash that sometimes looks like a bull's eye.   Antibiotics are the only known effective treatment for Lyme disease.

These therapies haven't been shown to be effective, and some may be harmful.  Find out more
