Congenital Lyme

Most of us have learned that Lyme disease is spread by a tick bite. What is less known is that Lyme disease is also congenital, meaning it can cross the placenta during pregnancy, both infecting and causing harm to your unborn child. Though scientists have known Lyme is congenital since 1985, it took the CDC until 2020 to finally acknowledge this fact.

Babesia

Babesia, is a malaria-like parasite, and it infects the red blood cells of its host. The disease resulting from a Babesia infection is called babesiosis. It can be acquired from the bite of an infected tick, but it can also be transmitted through mother-to-child (congenital) in utero or during a blood transfusion.
