                  34. By now most people know that the deer tick is responsible for carrying and transmitting Lyme disease among animals. Lyme disease is a debilitating inflammatory condition that can cause body and joint aches, fever, pain, itching and lethargy. If Lyme disease is diagnosed in the early stages, it can be cured with antibiotics. Without treatment, however, complications involving the joints, heart and nervous system can occur. To understand how Lyme disease is transmitted, one must first understand the bug that is responsible for spreading it.
