The Untamed Science team in Sweden is going to produce a new chemistry video each month to show how chemistry is a part of all our lives.

Recently Jonas found a tick on his shoulder. A couple of days later, a large red ring appeared around the place where the tick had been. The ring is a clear symptom of Lyme disease caused by a bacterium called Borrelia that is transferred by ticks.

In this video we find out how the antibiotic really works, and why it kills only the bacteria.
