Lyme Disease Symptoms and Signs

Hair Loss. It has been observed that Lyme disease can cause hair loss in certain sections of the population.  It is unknown exactly how Lyme disease causes this hair loss; however, studies show that it certainly does occur. Some researchers believe that endotoxins released by the disease cause this condition. If the disease progresses untreated, the toxic inflammation underlying the hair loss will increase proportionally, worsening the loss of hair. This hair loss is usually a process so gradual that it may pass unnoticed in the initial stages.
