Mackenzie Weis Jones, DNP, FNP-BC

Lyme disease, caused by the Borrelia burgdorferi bacterium and transmitted through tick bites, can have lasting effects if not properly treated. Symptoms often start with fever, fatigue, muscle aches, and the classic bullseye rash, but if left untreated, Lyme can progress to neurological issues, joint pain, and long-term immune dysfunction. Because Lyme bacteria can evade the immune system and persist in the body, a comprehensive and multi-faceted treatment approach is essential.
