Lyme disease is caused by spirochete bacteria of the genus Borrelia — primarily Borrelia burgdorferi in NorthAmerica and B. afzelii or B. garinii in Europe and Asia. These are ancient organisms. Genetic evidence showsthey have circulated naturally in wildlife across the Northern Hemisphere for tens of thousands of years. BorreliaDNA has been recovered from Ötzi the Iceman (5,300 years old) and from American ticks collected in the 1890s— decades before any modern laboratory existed. The late-20th-century explosion in human cases was driven entirely by ecological change: reforestation of the northeastern United States, skyrocketing white-tailed deer populations, and suburban houses built deeper into tick habitat. Despite conspiracy theories to the contrary, Lyme disease is not a bioweapon, not a lab leak, and not a recent invention. It is an ancient zoonosis that finally found us again. Why Lyme Can Become Chronic Borrelia is a master of immune evasion. It forms protective biofilms, converts into round-body and cyst-like“persister” forms, hides inside collagen and joints, and frequently arrives with co-infections such as Babesia, Bartonella, Anaplasma, or even parasitic worms. Short courses of antibiotics (the current CDC guideline) cure many early cases, but when infection is disseminated or delayed in diagnosis, 10–20 % of patients are left with persistent symptoms — a reality officially called Post-Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome (PTLDS) but experienced by most as ongoing infection.
