Iceman Otzi possibly had lyme disease:
> DNA analysis also showed him at high risk of atherosclerosis and lactose intolerance, with the presence of the DNA sequence of Borrelia burgdorferi, possibly making him the earliest known human with Lyme disease.[48][56] A later analysis suggested the sequence may have been a different Borrelia species.[57]
He lived between approximately 3400 and 3100 BCE.
