From Lyme Disease"

Lot more ticks here now than 25 years ago.

also, back east, ...

It seems that Lyme Disease cases reported have surged to new highs so far in 2011. Lymes Disease cases increased from 10,000 in 2002 to 39,500 in 2009. And it seems cases have really accelerated so far in 2011.

It seems the cooler wet weather in the Northeast U.S. this year has created ideal conditions for deer tick breeding. What’s not clear is whether cases are actually increasing, or if better diagnoses are occuring. In the early days of Lymes disease, doctors were not familiar with the disease and were misdiagnosing the disease. These days, with the amount of press on Lymes increasing daily, doctors are much better informed on the disease.

Luckily, Lymes disease is occurs in relatively small geographical area; the Northeast United States and north into the provinces of Ontario and Quebec in Canada. In fact over 90 % of Lymes Disease cases have been diagnosed in only 12 states.
