Stories of people living with crippling Lyme Disease often cover our headlines this time of year, but a new study shows something not before understood:  Lyme Disease is an STD (sexually transmitted disease).  You can catch it from a romp in the sack as easily as you can from a deer tick, a new study indicates.

According to Men’s Fitness [1]:

In the study, all females who had it also tested positive for Lyme bacteria in (there’s no easy way to say this) vaginal secretions; about half the semen samples from men with Lyme tested positive as well; and hetero married couples practicing unprotected sex had identical strains.

This “strongly suggests that sexual transmission occurs,” says the study’s Peter Mayne, M.B.B.S.
