Is Lyme disease a virus or bacteria?

Lyme disease, or borreliosis, is an emerging infectious disease caused by bacteria from the genus Borrelia.[1] The vector of infection is typically the bite of an infected black-legged or deer tick, but other carriers (including other ticks in the genus Ixodes) have been implicated.[2] Borrelia burgdorferi is the predominant cause of Lyme disease in the US and Borrelia afzelii and Borrelia garinii are in Europe.





The disease presentation varies widely, and may include a rash and flu-like symptoms in its initial stage, then musculoskeletal, arthritic, neurologic, psychiatric and cardiac manifestations. In a majority of cases, symptoms can be eliminated with antibiotics, especially if treatment begins early in the course of illness. Late or inadequate treatment often leads to "late stage" Lyme disease that is disabling and difficult to treat. Controversy over diagnosis, testing and treatment has led to two different standards of care

I hope it helps!
Reply:Lyme disease is caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi and is transmitted to humans by the bite of infected ticks most likely deer ticks but other ticks can give it too you.





be very careful when in tall grass and wooded areas.





if you feel flu like symtoms and have an odd rash (some people dont get the rash) see a doctor too treat it early otherwise it will be hard to treat and will need iv antibiotics.
Reply:Is this disease caused by germ warfare/contaminated vaccines. Look up research by Prof Donald W Scott, Dr Garth Nicholson and Dr James Martin and judge for yourself.
