Lyme disease is a bacterial infection transmitted by blacklegged ticks, commonly known as deer ticks. It’s common in many parts of the U.S., including Northern California. Early detection is crucial, as Lyme disease can cause flu-like symptoms and, if untreated, lead to joint pain, neurological issues, or heart problems. Prompt treatment typically results in full recovery.
