TALK & LYME DISEASE
What is Lyme
disease? Lyme disease is caused
by a microscopic cork-screw shaped bacteria called Borrelia burgdorferi, often called the "Great Imitator" because its symptoms can
easily be confused with other ailments such as influenza, infectious mononucleosis, and
rheumatoid arthritis.
The disease often starts as a skin rash and can progress to more serious
stages involving joints or heart tissue. Antibiotics are usually effective
in treating Lyme.
