The disease is caused by the parasites blocking glands in the lymphatic system of the human body.

One common method the virus is transmitted - though no the only one - is through sexual intercourse.
Can Lyme disease be spread by exchanging bodily fluids?
Yes, Lymes disease can be transmitted trough contact with blood, for it is spread through the Deer Tick, which is a blood sucking insect that carries the disease . Because of this, it can be transmitted trough the blood, but not other bodily fluids.
How is lyme disease transmitted?
Lyme Disease is transmitted to a human through a tick bite if the tick is carrying the spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi. The tick transmits the spirochete which causes the disease. It is most commonly found in the brown deer tick.
