Is lyme disease an std?

No. Lyme disease is a tick-borne infectious disease.While it may be possible to get Lyme disease through sexual intercourse with an infected person, there is still research being done to prove or disprove this theory.It is not, however, a sexually transmitted disease.Some say Lyme Disease can not be sexually transmitted and that Lyme Disease is transmitted through a tick that is infected with it. However, research has proven that the lyme bacterium can be transmitted through any biting insect not just ticks. Also one of the lyme bacterium is a spirochete (Borrelia Berdorfi). A well known sexually transmitted disease is syphilis which is a spirochete.Till further studies prove this wrong I would assume that Lyme can be transmitted through the sharing of body fluids.


What is in the lyme disease booster?

The Lyme disease booster vaccination is typically a repeat dose of the initial vaccine to help maintain immunity against Lyme disease. It may contain inactivated or components of the Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria, the causative agent of Lyme disease, to stimulate the immune system to produce protective antibodies. The booster helps to ensure that the body continues to recognize and fight off any future exposure to the bacteria.


Does lyme disease cause high white blood count?

Yes, Lyme disease can cause an elevated white blood cell count as part of the body's immune response to the infection. The elevated white blood cell count is typically due to an increase in the number of neutrophils.
