It is spread through bites of infected soft ticks. Soft ticks only feed for 15-30 minutes and then they drop off unlike hard ticks. Some people do not even realize getting bit because their bites are mostly painless.

To prevent Borrelia Recurrentis you must avoid going to areas of rustic cabins, mountain forests, or any areas that would nest  small rodents where soft ticks would bed. Soft ticks live in these nest and come out to feed at night.
