The causative agent (the Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria) in Lyme disease is found
in mosquitoes, horse flies and deer flies. Whether it transfers to humans and pets
is unkown at this time. They never did any studies on it.

Some people never get a rash and they
don't even know they have been bitten.

International Lyme And Associated Diseases Society
website states:

"Fewer than 50% of patients with Lyme disease recall any rash. Although the erythema migrans (EM) or “bull’s-eye” rash is considered classic, it is not the most common dermatologic manifestation of early-localized Lyme infection. Atypical forms of this rash are seen far more commonly. It is important to know that the EM rash is pathognomonic of Lyme disease and requires no further verification prior to starting an appropriate course of antibiotic therapy."
