Risk Factors for Early Disseminated Lyme Disease
If you have Lyme disease, the risk of progressing to the early disseminated stage is high if you remain untreated. People who live in certain areas or involve in some situations may be more likely to come in contact with an infected tick. These include:
– Living in wooded areas
– Having pets that would carry infected into the home
– Hiking, trekking, or walking in wooded or high-grass areas
– Doing outdoor activities, such as hunting or gardening in areas in which Lyme disease is prevalent [7]
