Alot of us have never even noticed a bite or rash. You need to check out Seeking a Dr. to get the appropriate treatment. So sorry you are sick, with the right treatment you can get better!

Less than half of Lyme patients get the classic "bulls-eye" rash.

I would say most don't get itchy.

NO rash here. Many of us who are chronic never had the benefit of a rash to tell us we were bitten.

I did have a rash- But they thought (here in GA) that it was a spider bite, but now looking back it was a red round rash, that itch and hurt like crazy.
They gave me 10 days worth of abx to clear the infection the bite left on my leg and I'm convinced that's what kept the Lyme at bay for almost 5 years. Until I got it by a bunch of fleas and contracted Bart.
I've also test positive for a past infection of Ehrlicilosis(can't ever spell that word)which I've heard is common in the south. I would assume the abx which I was put on after my "spider bite" helped that out.

No rash for me, or my husband. This is mostly what I hear from my Lyme friends too.

No rash for my son... or me.
Note: I am not yet diagnosed with lyme... but pretty sure I have had lyme for 17+ years.

I'm with littlebit. Had a black spot with a big red, round rash. No circular clearing. That is a mis-nomer (sp?) that comes from the original finding of lyme rashes more than 30 years ago. Not every rash looks the same.
Mine was hot to the touch and itchy and painful.
Duck said, Spider bite. What I figured out later was that it was the head of the tick still embedded.
