BRISTOL, Tenn

Tick bites are more common, but there is a low risk for Lyme disease

in the Tri-Cities region, according to the Centers for Disease

Control. The type of tick whose bite can cause the rash is less

common in the area.

If not treated, Lyme disease can lead to arthritis, including

intermittent episodes of swelling and pain in the large joints,

facial palsy, motor and sensory nerve inflammation and inflammation

of the brain.

The most common problem related to ticks comes from southern tick-

associated rash illness, caused by the lone star tick. Its bites can

cause a rash similar to Lyme disease.

The tick is reddish-colored with a yellow or white star-shaped design

on its back.

Symptoms of southern tick-associated rash illness include an

expanding rash with a central clearing. If you develop these

symptoms, see a doctor.
