Lyme disease is a serious illness caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi. It is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected black-legged ticks. The symptoms of Lyme disease can be severe and debilitating if left untreated. These include fever, headache, fatigue, joint pain, muscle weakness, and neurological problems.
Relapsing fever is another tick-borne illness that can cause serious health problems if not diagnosed early. It is caused by several species of bacteria belonging to the genus Borrelia. The symptoms include high fever, chills, headache, muscle pain, nausea/vomiting/diarrhea.
