Were you looking for information about Lyme Disease? Lime disease is a common misspelling of Lyme disease.
Lyme disease is a bacterial infection that is typically transmitted through the bites of infected ticks. People with this condition may experience symptoms such as fatigue, fever, and a characteristic skin rash called "erythema migrans." Most cases of Lyme disease can be treated successfully with a few weeks of treatment with antibiotics. Steps to prevent this infection include using insect repellent, removing ticks promptly, landscaping, and using integrated pest management.
