What are some current treatments of Lyme Disease?

Expert Solution

Step 1

Lyme Disease:

Lyme disease is an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, which is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected black-legged ticks (also known as deer ticks). The disease is named after the town of Lyme, Connecticut, where a cluster of cases was first identified in the 1970s.

The symptoms of Lyme disease can vary widely and can include fever, headache, fatigue, muscle and joint aches, and a characteristic skin rash called erythema migrans. If left untreated, the infection can spread to other parts of the body, leading to more severe symptoms such as joint swelling, facial paralysis, and heart palpitations.
