Lyme disease is preventable when you know how to avoid tick bites and what to do if bitten. Information on black-legged ticks which cause Lyme disease is provided for any location in the continental US. If you are bitten, instructions show you how to remove a tick, determine how long a tick has been attached, and if you should seek medical attention. Signs and symptoms of Lyme disease are shown and a physician reference is provided.
