Lyme disease is an infectious disease that is caused by a bacteria called “Borrelia burgdorferi”. The bacteria is transferred to the human body through insect bites from infected tick black-legged ticks or deer ticks. Nonetheless, the transmission of this bacterium into the human bloodstream can lead to the development of Lyme disease. It can affect anyone ranging from children to old age people however, people who spend most of their time outside are at high risk such as hikers, campers, and people whose occupations require them to be outside.
