Yes. It is only in very extreme cases where Lyme Disease isn't diagnosed and treated for a long period of time that it is fatal. It isn't the Lyme Disease that would be fatal but rather complications and co-infections that could result from the disease going untreated.

In some cases, Lyme Disease that isn't treated for an extended time may lead to paralysis.

Most often, Lyme Disease is discovered and treated before any permanent damage is sustained.
