I have a rash on the same leg where I was bitten, on my left wrist and no one on my right wrist and right leg.

Lyme can cause a variety of rashes. The classic "Bull's eye" rash occurs at the bite site, but I've also heard it can occur anywhere else during treatment...not sure how accurate this is, however (someone else, please correct me if I'm wrong on this)...I never had the bull's eye rash but have other rashes that I strongly suspect are due to Lyme.

I had a poison ivy like rash as well as the bulls-eye.

Kodak, yeah that's what b/f said, maybe it was poison ivy but don't you have to go around it first?

No. I had a rash at the bite site but had other EM's on differetnt locations on my body.
