7- Lyme Disease

Lyme disease or Lyme borreliosis is an infectious, non-contagious disease caused by a bacterium, Borrelia burgdorferi, transmitted by ticks.

Lyme disease is usually effectively treated with antibiotics. If not treated promptly, the disease can affect the joints and nervous system.

Prevention of Lyme disease includes protection from tick bites, prompt but careful removal of ticks after the bite, and the possible prescription of antibiotics as a prophylaxis, i.e., without waiting for symptoms to appear.
