Is lyme disease deadly?

Not Medical Advice: Lyme disease can be deadly, however Lyme disease fatalities are very rare, and severe chronic Lyme disease is uncommon. Lyme disease was first recognized in 1975 after researchers investigated why large numbers of children were being diagnosed with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis in Lyme, Connecticut, as well as two neighboring towns.
