Can a person infected with lyme or co-infections infect another person through their saliva?
I know that I read somewhere where it's passed to others through the body fluids. Does this include saliva?

- Only from the little I've read, not probable to pass in saliva but there is always the matter of bleeding gums to consider and that could certainly change everything.
Another consideration is that lyme patients often also have a variety of other infections. During acute stages, this would be a concern. -
