how people get it

Ticks get infected when they feed on mice, squirrels, birds and other small animals that can carry the bacterium. Ticks then spread the bacterium to humans. Two types of ticks are responsible: the western blacklegged tick in British Columbia and the blacklegged tick, sometimes called the deer tick, in other parts of Canada. People can’t spread Lyme disease to each other. Although dogs and cats can contract Lyme disease, there is no evidence that they can spread the infection to people. Pets can, however, carry infected ticks into homes and yards. Hunters may be at greater risk, because they spend more time in woodland and brush areas where ticks tend to live. However, Lyme disease cannot be contracted from eating deer.

what are the treatments

=
Several antibiotics can treat the illness. The sooner treatments starts, the better. Most cases of Lyme disease can be cured with a 2-4 week treatment of doxycycline, amoxicillin, or ceftriaxone. People with certain neurological or cardiac problems may require intravenous treatment with penicillin or ceftriaxone. Patients diagnosed in the later stages of the disease can have persistent or recurrent symptoms requiring a longer course of antibiotic treatment. ======
