Premise: Lyme disease , also known as Lyme borreliosis , is an infectious disease caused by bacteria of the Borrelia type . The most common sign of infection is an expanding area of redness on the skin , known as erythema migrans , that begins at the site of a tick bite about a week after it has occurred . Lyme disease is transmitted to humans by the bite of infected ticks of the Ixodes genus .
Hypothesis: Lyme disease infects those affected by it.
