"It’s important to note that there are at least 18 known strains of the Lyme-causing B. burgdorferi . Those who have been treated for Lyme in the past can thus be newly infected in one of two ways:
-By a tick carrying the same strain that infected them before
-By a tick carrying a different species of B. burgdorferi "
" In 2014, a small study found that some people may, in fact, develop strain-specific immunity to Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacteria causing Lyme disease. “Once infected with a particular strain of the disease-causing bacteria, humans appear to develop immunity against that strain that can last six to nine years,” the authors wrote."
"The answer is yes, you can. Even if you’ve already had Lyme disease (and received treatment for it), you can get it again if you’re bitten by an infected tick carrying Lyme bacteria. Protecting yourself from tick bites is one of the best ways to prevent Lyme disease—regardless of whether you’ve had it before."
