Many organisms found in ticks, including spirochetes, can survive in water, or in water creatures.

Do you think it is possible someone can be infected with Lyme or another TBD from a natural water source?

Has anyone ever sampled natural water sources (swamps, creeks, rivers, etc.) to try to detect the presence of spirochetes?

Look at some of the tick borne diseases found in water and "things" that live in the water....
