Get the Facts About Lyme Disease
Lyme disease is a bacterial infection caused by Borrelia burgdorferi, which is transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected deer tick. Early signs of infection can include a distinctive rash and flu-like symptoms, but if left untreated, the disease can progress and affect multiple body systems, including the joints, heart, brain, and nervous system. Because early symptoms are often similar to those of other illnesses, Lyme disease is frequently misdiagnosed, making timely recognition and care critical for effective treatment and long-term health.
