Lyme disease is translated as enfermedad de Lyme which is the disease caused by a bacterium and spread by the bite of a tick. The disease presents flu-like symptoms in the initial stages but if left untreated may result in more complicated and debilitating effects. An atypical form of Lyme disease has been reported in Spain caused by a related Borrelia organism. However, the risk is believed to be low. It is reported to be affecting a number of people in the rural areas hence the need for people traveling there to take precautions against ticks. According to a survey conducted, it was established that the north has the riskiest areas decreasing to the south (41% and 25% respectively). From this survey, it is proved that the northern regions are among the most risky areas for acquiring Lyme disease in Spain.
