Overview
Lyme disease is a tick borne disease and people who spent a lot of time outdoor in wooded area with exposed skin are more prone to this infection.
Risk Factors
- People who spend a lot of time outside in wooded areas
- People with outdoor occupations
- People who live in the Northwest and Midwest USA (ex. Oregon and Washington)
- Working outside with bare or exposed skin
- Failing to remove a tick as soon as you see it on your skin (the longer a tick is attached to your skin the greater your risk of developing Lyme disease.)[1]
