JudyLyme disease is not generally considered to be hereditary, so future children of a father with Lyme disease are not automatically at risk of inheriting the disease from their father. However, they could potentially be exposed to the same environmental factors that can lead to Lyme disease, such as tick bites, so precautions should be taken. It's always best to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
