is lyme disease contagious human to human
DEAR READER: In short, no. Lyme disease is caused by a bacteria that is passed from insect to human by ticks. It canât be passed directly from human to human. The bacteria is transmitted primarily through deer ticks, either adult female deer ticks or their babies.These little âvampiresâ need to suck our blood to remain alive.hile you canât catch Lyme disease from another human, you can catch it from your pets. Ticks can jump onto your dogs and cats, make them sick (or not), and then the ticks can jump onto you.
