disease generally spread through the bite of a
tick. This causes an irritable red

Later symptoms include irregular heart beat, pain in the joints, dizziness, and weakness in face muscles.
The disease is cause by a bacteria called Borrelia burgdorferi. Antiboitics are generally effective. Multiple cases are possible.
