WORRIED LYME MIGHT BE CONTAGIOUS?
Lyme is becoming increasingly visible in our health landscape, with the disease attracting more attention with every passing year.
Previously, it was a condition that many people classified as either an ‘American disease’, or a ‘North-Eastern disease’ if you lived in America. And while it’s true that there is a high incidence of the condition in states like Maine, Connecticut, New Hampshire and Vermont, Lyme has been recorded in every mainland state in the U.S., as well as almost all European and Asian countries.
To say it is a worldwide epidemic is not hyperbole. Though more people are in the know about Lyme disease than ever before, not everyone is entirely sure how it’s contracted; for example, is it possible to transfer Lyme from person-to-person?
