Depending on how you mean, yes and no, and undecided.

Lyme disease is considered an 'infectious disease', because it is transmitted by the bite of a tick. It can also be passed invitro (mother to infant) in humans, and early signs are beginning to show that it could also be sexually transmitted. Because the bacteria is constantly changing to fit the world it lives it (us!), the development of Lyme disease as a sexual transmitted disease is a very real possibility in the near future. Many partners of people with Lyme disease have developed the disease, and most Lyme literate doctors believe this is the case.

So yah, its infectious. and very dangerous.

No. Lyme disease spred through the bite of infected black legged ticks. Central BioHub is a leading human biospecimens provider for lyme disease biospecimens.

research indicates that, in addition to tick bites, Lyme Disease may also be transmitted by sexual contact and bites from other insects.
