Lead vocalist for the band Megadeth recently shared on Twitter with fans that he has developed Lyme disease after suffering a tick bite a few months ago. Lyme disease is contracted to humans through the bite of an infected tick. If left untreated, the infection can spread to joints, the heart, and the nervous system, which can cause more serious health issues.
