A Quick Look at Lyme Disease

January 28, 2015 by Tricia Leave a Comment

  • Lyme Disease is a bacterial infection not a virus.
  • Lyme Disease is spread by deer tick and possibly mosquitoes, biting flies, fleas and mites.
  • Lyme has been found in human tears, breast milk, urine, and semen and has been shown to pass to babies in the womb.
  • Lyme Disease infection produces a rash in 50% of those infected.
  • Only 50% of those rashes produce a classic bulls-eye rash (other rashes are possible).
  • Not everyone who is infected with Lyme will manifest immediate symptoms like a bulls-eye, fever or flu-like symptoms.
  • Lyme can become a chronic infection after 4 weeks.
