Do you capitalize lyme disease even if it's in the middle of a sentence???

Yes, because (Old) Lyme is the name of a place in the USA from which the disease was named.

YES,  YES  YES

Answer 4

Sounds strange but you only capitalize the word Lyme and not disease when it's in the middle of a sentence or at anytime for that matter.

Answer 6

no

Answer 7

You always do... If you specify a certain disease's name then it's capitalized. You wouldn't, however, capitalize just 'disease'.
