Is Lyme Disease contagious?
Is Lyme Disease transmitted from person to person? Is Lyme Disease contagious? What are the routes of contagion? People with experience in Lyme Disease help solve this question.
Again...contagious is the wrong word. I believe it can be sexually transmitted because Borrelia burgdorferi is a spirochete like syphilis. I don't believe that it is airborne until I see proof. Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt has alluded to that fact that it is.

Yes. I believe it's a virus, spread like cold sores. Often children getting this from parents.

It is a blood-borne infection, transmitted in vitro, through transfusion and from blood-sucking bugs. There is evidence to suggest it can be sexually transmitted. It would not be transmitted through casual contact, sneezing, etc.

no it is not, but it is transmitted through blood and sex

Yes sexually and possibly through oth body fluids

Yes, through sex and probably blood transfusion. Our blood supply is not tested for Lyme or co infections.

Some people say it is spread through saliva but it is only 100% that it is spread via sexual intercourse, blood transfusion and through mother to child. Some say it is in every body fluid but it is still unknown...

Insects, congentially studies are in the works for the other. I personally believe it can be sexually transmitted but not enough research.

As of now only sexually and it appears more women get it this way than men. However, families are popping up all with Lyme and the exact species etc meaning we are passing is somehow

We don’t know enough other than yes it appears to be an STD. Entire families are popping up with the same strain which are hundreds. Meaning yes, somehow we are contagious. They need to study this more

Yes, it can be spread through sexual contact much like syphilis.

All studies indicate that it can be passed via the placenta and through sexual intercourse.
