lineage The map was produced by the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) for the year 2014. The map shows how many people with a red skin rash have been seen by their GP. A red spot/ring on the skin is evidence of Lyme disease, but in about 15% of all Lyme disease cases, no red rash appears on the skin. The color in the legend indicates the number of cases of illness per 100,000 inhabitants.
