More about Lyme
Lyme disease is a bacterial infection transmitted to humans through the bite of infected black-legged ticks, also known as deer ticks. The symptoms of Lyme disease can vary but often include a rash that looks like a bull's eye, fever, fatigue, and muscle aches. If left untreated, Lyme disease can cause serious complications, such as arthritis, heart problems, and neurological disorders. Lyme disease is most common in the northeastern and midwestern United States, but cases have been reported in other areas as well. Prevention includes avoiding tick-infested areas, wearing protective clothing, and using insect repellent. Early diagnosis and treatment with antibiotics are crucial for a full recovery.
