Additional Information
Transmission of Lyme Disease
Lyme disease, also known as Lyme borreliosis, is an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi. It is generally passed to humans by the bite of a tick infected with these bacteria. These ticks are about the size of a pin head and are found in woodland and around heathland.
However, Lyme disease is not transmitted from person to person. For example, a person cannot get infected by touching, kissing, or having sex with a person who has Lyme disease.
Symptoms on an average appear two weeks after the tick bite.
5%
of tick bites cause you a Lyme Disease
Recent studies conducted in Europe estimate that 1-5% of tick bites can lead to Lyme disease. On average, between 2.5–5.1% of ticks are contaminated in England and Wales, although this digit can vary in different areas and across years. In 2021, there were a total of 1,156 laboratory-confirmed cases of Lyme disease in England and Wales.
27%
of the total is infected in Scotland
Of all the cases surveyed across the year, most cases are reported between June and August. Reports suggest that this is due to a moist climate and an increasing number of immigrants. In addition, the South of England also recorded a higher than an average number of cases.
Experts Opinion
"Lyme disease is a common disease caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi transmitted by ticks. Lyme disease can be very debilitating and symptoms may be present only 2 days after a patient has been exposed to ticks."
