Caused by Borrelia burgdorferi (a type of bacteria), Lyme disease is passed on to humans by the bite of infected ticks. If left untreated, it can lead to neurological problems (such as facial palsy or meningitis), memory loss, chronic joint inflammation, inflammation of the heart and/or its conduction system, and changes in mood and sleep habits.
