Lyme Disease / Borreliosis: A brief explanation regarding the bacteria that is responsible for Lyme disease / Borreliosis.

Associations/Misdiagnosis of other Diseases: The ability of the bacteria to invade every organ in the body, and the widespread inflammation that they induce is an underlying reason that Lyme disease has been misdiagnosed as multiple diseases.
Co-infections: As Lyme is a vector borne disease - other infections may be transmitted at the same time.
