Lyme Disease  Lyme disease is an infectious disease caused by a bacterium known as a spirochete. People get Lyme disease when a tick infected with the bacterium attaches and feeds on them. An infected tick must be attached and feeding for at least a day before it can transmit the spirochetes. In California, the western blacklegged tick transmits the bacterium that causes Lyme disease in humans.
