Lyme Disease
Lyme disease is a bacterial infection caused by Borrelia burgdorferi, a type of microorganism called a spirochete. It is transmitted to humans through the bite of certain species of ticks. Symptoms of Lyme disease can include unexplained fatigue, headaches, muscle and joint pain, facial palsy, and a characteristic “bull’s eye” rash. Lyme disease is often associated with outdoor activities and is most common in regions with dense vegetation, such as forests and high grassy areas. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment with antibiotics are key to preventing long-term complications of Lyme disease. Proper prevention of tick bites can greatly reduce the risk of contracting Lyme disease.
