Lyme disease<\/a> is a condition caused by the bacteria “Borrelia burgdorferi sensu late.” B. burgdorferi transfers to humans due to the bite from an infected ear tag or black-legged tick common to the Texas region of the United States.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe ticks absorb the pathogen after feeding on infected mice or deer. In cases where Lyme disease transmits to humans, the parasite must be present on the surface of the skin for between 24 to 48-hours. Strangely enough, many people that contract Lyme disease have no memory of being bitten by a tick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
People who spend more time outdoors hunting or engaging and outdoors activities are at a higher risk of contracting Lyme disease, due to a tick bite. Lyme disease evolves in the patient in three distinct stages; the first being the localized stage, the second is the early disseminated stage, and finally, the late disseminated stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Each stage has different symptoms, and patients Who experience the late disseminated stage of Lyme disease may end up experiencing symptoms of peripheral neuropathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
