Lyme disease is an infectious illness caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, which is primarily transmitted to humans through the bite of infected black-legged ticks, also known as deer ticks. These ticks become carriers of the bacteria after feeding on infected animals like mice and deer, and then pass it on to humans.
