Nope, the fact that lyme disease may be spread by insect bites other than ticks is controversial, not proven yet at all, they are just beginning to look into it. What happens if a mosquito bites a person infected with lyme disease and then bites you? There's tons of ppl infected with lyme disease.

One time I was camping down at the Ocean. In the middle of the night, I woke up barfing my brains out. This was most inconvenient because I had forgotten my flashlight and any kind of paper towel because I went at the last moment and took my young son and his friend. It was also most embarrassing because I knew the other campers could hear me and I was afraid they would think I had just gotten drunk or something....

Then by morning, one of the boys was barfing too so we packed up and went home. Upon arriving home, there was an article in the Maryland Gazette all about how the mosquitos at Assateague Island were infecting campers with a stomach virus.

I think some pretty other bad diseases get passed by mosquitos around the world. I'm looking for the article where I saw the possibility noted, if I can find it, I'll post the link.

But it sure sounds logical to me.

So far, all I have found is this article about lyme disease being sexually transmittable. This is interesting to me because although I never saw any tick or any bullseye... I do know my boyfriend had tick bites with bullseyes and was treated several times for lyme disease. That explains a lot to me now.. hmmm.. learn something new every day.
