A member asked:
Can i pass lyme disease onto my baby either in the womb or by breastfeeding?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: It could happen, but first make sure you have a second opinion on your diagnosis, as this is often overdiagnosed and the tests for lyme disease are often misinterpreted.
