Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses

Lyme disease is transmitted by the bite of a tick carrying the Borrelia burgdorferi bacterium. It can affect both humans and animals.

The disease was first described in 1977, following an outbreak of arthritis in children living in the town of Lyme, Connecticut, USA.

Ticks capable of transmitting Lyme disease are now found in North America, Europe, Asia and North Africa. The municipality of West Bolton is now one of the endemic regions where the risk of contracting Lyme disease is significantly high.

If you have any questions about a suspected or actual bite, please contact a healthcare professional, such as a pharmacist.
