In areas where Japanese barberry is invasive, it promotes in 👥︎ humans the terrible and difficult-to-treat ⚕︎ Lyme disease, for reasons having something to do with disease vectors deer  family Cervidae, white-footed deer mice  Peromyscus leucopus, black-legged deer ticks  genus Ixodes, and the Lyme disease bacterium  Borrelia burgdorferi.

In the 🇺🇸 USA, the USDA suggests those seeking a shrub with nice fruit replace this plant with native alternatives 🍓︎ strawberry bush  Euonymus americanus, wax-myrtle  Myrica cerifera, meadowsweet  Spiraea latifolia or mapleleaf viburnum  Viburnum acerifolium. [2]
