Which are the causes of Lyme Disease?
Causes of Lyme Disease explained: genetic and environmental factors, reviewed against medical sources, plus patient perspectives.
A bit from a blood loving insect or tick.

The cause is of Lyme disease is a spirochete—a corkscrew-shaped bacterium called Borrelia burgdorferi. You can get this bacteria from a Tick bite, mosquito bite, spider bite, flea bite, fly bite, sexual contact, mother to fetus and blood transfusion. Why do some get sick and others not? I believe immune varying immune systems, some compromised other not. How often you are infected until you become ill. Of course diet, environment stresses, life style, etc. all influence an immune system.

Solid research says the majority of Lyme disease infections and co infections come from the Tick.

It's a bacteria carried by ticks. Some also speculate that fleas, mosquitoes, and other biting insects cause it. Genetics, food, environment, and infections can contribute to how bad the patient responds, but it is caused by a bacteria.

I think Lyme is a viral infection. I think there are environmental issues that cause the disease to come out of a dormancy and cause symptoms.

I believe that Lyme is transmitted through blood and, potentially, other body fluids. Most reliably, it is transmitted through bites from blood-sucking vectors such as ticks, mosquitoes, fleas, chiggers, etc. It may be sexually transmitted as well as in vitro. I think people with a compromised immune system are more vulnerable.

A bite from a tick carrying the Lyme bacteria (and often many coinfections) is the generally accepted cause. Research is suggesting the horseflies, spiders and mosquitoes may also carry it. The disease is blood-borne, meaning it can also be passed to an unborn child or sexual partner

infection brought originally by a tick or insect bite and spread either by blood or a bite.

Lyme disease has been around for a very long time however I think because there are more immune disruptions nowadays our immune system is unable to fight it off. Some say global warming plays part in more ticks. Lyme can be spread by other insects also through birth and sexually

Tics, mosquitos, fleas, sex, pregnancy

Bite od an infected tick, mosquito, spider which transfers the bacteria Borellia Burgoferi into the human blood and then the bacteria (with time, if not treated immediatelly with abx) spreads through the whole body, muscles and organs and causes health complications.

Ticks and other biting insects congentenial and possibly sexually. Its still in study on whether it is an std or not.

Well at one time it was a deer tick and only Borrelia Burgdorferi. However, you can get Lyme from mosquitoes, fleas, horse and sand flies, lice, mites, spiders, bedbugs, and I have a microbiologist studying bugs for me. Also the roach, an omnivore, carries it and they do bite and chiggers have come up positive. Also, many other forms of ticks including the lone star and brown dog tick.

It use to be a deer tick with Borrelia Burgdorferi. Now it’s almost any bug and any forms of borrelia. Wear deet and know mosquitoes, lice, mites, sand and horse flies, spiders, all ticks, begbugs, and thanks to my friend who is a microbiologist also chiggers and roaches

Lyme is a bacterial infection from a spirochete which also has some viral aspects to its behavior. It’s very difficult to treat.

Tick bite, they also say of other insects such as fleas, spiders etc.
Also via the placenta, sexual intercourse or blood transfusions

The infection by Borrelia, which is transmitted by the bite of a tick.

Mainly the bite of a tick.
It's a spirochete, so it can be spread through sex and from mother to child through placenta and milk.

It is caused most commonly by the bite of a tick, although there is talk of the via congenital and sexual transmission without scientific evidence is still . Although as it is a spirochete like syphilis is easy to think that puedaser sexually transmitted .

Lyme disease is due to the presence in the body of a bacterium that is part of the family of Borrélia and which is usually injected by a tick. It is important to know that any person do not develop Lyme disease after a tick bite, the ground immune is important. It depends on our state of fatigue, the state of our defences, of our habits of living and eating (if we have a lot acid, it is the open door to all kind of infections), and of our intestine.
