What Is Lyme Disease?

10. Prevention
The ticks that cause Lyme disease tend to be very small and we will often not even notice they are there. Some people can even be bitten and not be aware until they notice the first symptoms. Ticks tend to be found in long grass and wooded areas.
Thus, if you find yourself in such an environment, it is best to cover up the best you can with loose clothing. This is especially the case in areas where the ticks are known to be. If you are bitten then it is not necessary to take any action because Lyme disease is quite rare. It is still a good idea to look out for symptoms of the disease, however.
