(CNN) Lyme disease is the most common disease caused by ticks in the United States, and with the climate crisis it may become even more common. Between 70% and 80% of people with Lyme disease develop this rash, and some patients develop it at more than one location on their bodies. In the US it's Borrelia burgdorferi and Borrelia mayonii that cause the disease, according to the Mayo Clinic. Most people get sick with Lyme disease in the spring and summer months. National surveillance data suggests closer to 300,000 Americans get sick from Lyme disease every year.
