Ticks with a Twist of Lyme disease

from Ecogeeks : Untamed Science Video Podcast · host Rob Nelson, Haley Nelson

Lyme disease is caused by a spirochaete bacteria that is transferred to humans by ticks. Ticks aren't born with the pathogen, however. They have to take it up from an infected animal during one of their blood meals. To learn more about the disease visit our lyme disease page.
