A.11 – Yes. Multiple infections can be contracted. Ticks in the United Kingdom can carry a variety of infections concurrently. These include Anaplasma / Ehrlichia species, and Bartonella and Babesia species, as well as the different Borrelia species. Other opportunistic infections can also result from the immune system being depressed by a Borrelial infection.
