Has anyone heard of lyme disease being caused by a spider,mosquito or flea bite? Thanks

Lyme has been found in 23 insects, and I have heard reports of people being infected through these three, including sand fleas. Which means we all need bug repellent on.

I developed a EM (bulls eye) rash after taking a wonderful morning hike where we ended up hiking through a swarm of mosquitos. I felt a mosquito bite precisely where my rash later appeared. I never once found a tick on me. I'm convinced that I got Lyme from a mosquito.

I distinctly remember being told twice in my life (different occasions) that I had ring worm. Once as a child and once as an adult. Do you think it could have been a bullseye? I don't remember any redness as it was a long time ago. This has crossed my mind several times and just wanted to know what you think?
