Lyme disease

Lyme disease is the most common insect-borne disease in North America and Europe Lyme disease is caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi The bacterium is transmitted by the deer tick, which feeds on the blood of animals and bites humans That's how the disease spreads The risk of contracting Lyme disease is high if you spend a lot of time in nature, in forests where ticks are common. It is important to take preventive measures in areas where Lyme disease is prevalent If you are given the right antibiotic therapy in the early stages of the disease, it is possible to recover quickly In the later stages, the response to treatment is less, but most patients recover after some time
