Can lyme disease affect the face?

Answer by  Porthos72 (196)

People who are diagnosed with Lyme disease can also be affected by Bell's palsy if the disease has spread to the nervous system. This is a condition that can cause numbness and for the face to droop. This facial paralysis has a strong chance of clearing up, though it is not a guarantee- 85% within the first three weeks.
