How did you get Lyme disease?

First, the main cause of Lyme disease - ticks, which often appear between April and October, is the main carrier of Borrelia burgdorferi, the pathogen of Lyme disease. Ticks depend on sucking blood to survive. Once sucking the blood of animals infected with the pathogen of Lyme disease, and then sucking human blood, it is likely that people will be infected with Lyme disease. The shape of ticks is similar to that of common ladybugs, with eight feet. Most ticks are dark brown. Ticks are small and hard to find if you don't pay attention to them.

Second: how to deal with Lyme disease? Oral antibiotics in the early stage of Lyme disease usually take effect quickly, and can effectively prevent the further development of the disease. The suitable antibiotics include doxycycline, amoxicillin, cefuroxime axetil, etc. Antibiotic therapy is also effective for the treatment of late Lyme disease, but if severe tissue damage has occurred, the treatment may not be complete. Therefore, in case of suspicious symptoms, we must go to medical institutions as soon as possible.

Third, Lyme disease is more common in North America, Europe and Asia. Lyme disease cases are more common in some temperate regions of North America, Europe and Asia. In recent years, the number of cases of Lyme disease has increased in many areas. According to the CDC, 30000 cases of Lyme disease are reported in the United States every year, but it is estimated that there are about 300000 cases of Lyme disease infection in the United States every year. In 2015, about 900 cases of Lyme disease were reported in Canada.
