It is the most commontick-borne infection in theUnited States. Although Allen Steere realized in 1978 that Lyme disease was a tick-borne disease, the cause of the disease remained a mystery until 1982. It can causejoint swelling,rashes, andneurological symptoms.[1]

Lyme disease is treated with antibiotics. Depending on disease stage and antibiotic used, treatment is usually between 10 and 28 days.[2]
