Lyme disease is a serious, potentially life-changing infectious disease caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi when transmitted from the bite of an infected tick.

Across large swaths of the U.S., including the Midwest, Northeast, and mid-Atlantic regions, as well as southeastern Canada, Lyme disease is primarily spread via the deer tick (also known as the black-legged tick or bear tick).

Indeed, ongoing research increasingly suggests a connection between poor gut health and poor skin health that many of us do not consider.

Your gut microbiome is made up of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other microbes. A well-balanced gut microbiome is crucial to aiding digestion and supporting the immune system, and is a vital component of your overall health, including mental health. Thus an unbalanced microbiome can lead to many health issues including chronic constipation, hormonal imbalances, mood disorders, and reduced immunity to viruses.
