Your entry will remain anonymous, the only thing in the stats will be what state you chose as your answer. Please send this to your friends with lyme who are not on lyme net. I am trying to get the clearest and most recent picture of the states in which people were infected.
Thanks guys <3

- It's nice to see that someone is trying to connect the dots.
However, many don't like to click onto a blind web site. I wonder if you might share the reason for your collection -- or if you are with an organization.
Who is the VOTATIONS site? So we know if you're with a current group or if it is a new group / individual - just for a frame of reference.
It's nice to know who all is out there working for us.
The project you are undertaking is huge. Just huge.
You may save yourself a lot of time by seeing what kinds of information similar to this has already been collected by the various professional lyme organizations such as:
Lyme Disease Association
Time for Lyme
Turn the Corner Foundation
Lyme Disease.org
etc. -

Me, Big Sur, CA. www.LymeDisease.org has an entry in the Touched By Lyme blog, I think around March 2010, in which folks in CA say they were bit all over CA.
My opinion - it's everywhere. Birds have flown the ticks everywhere.

South Carolina - cases in my family:
1. grandson (bitten around 1999 at age 7; diagnosed 2003) Lyme and Bartonella
2. for me (bitten late 1970s, had small EM rash, Lyme diagnosed 1992; bitten again late 1990s, Bartonella and Babesiosis diagnosed about 2002.)
3. father (bitten 1970s or possibly as early as 1930s when he missed one semester of college because of "migraine" headaches that lasted a short time. I've wondered if it could've been Lyme headaches. He was misdiagnosed with Alzheimer's early 1980s. Diagnosed with Lyme in 1992. Died of Lyme complications in 1996, before we knew about co-infections.)
4. aunt (misdiagnosed with senile dementia; correctly diagnosed with Lyme about 1994. Died of Lyme complications some years later.)

Hi guys,
I'm not with an organization other than being part of the lyme community. I'm just trying to get the most recent picture and the most information possible on the states in which people were infected..an extra confirmation that it IS everywhere.
Votations is just the website I used to create the poll. It was hard to find one that allowed 50 options of choice. Most only allow 5-15 or so. I do not know how I will use the information yet, but if it does prove to be useful in something, I will let you guys know.
I'm trying to topple this lyme disaster in the world, with the best of my efforts while fighting it myself. We have the internet, community, connection, communication, and recently media attention. We have to run with this. If we keep at it, change WILL happen.

Wintertree, 2 thumbs up!

Thx, Wintertree, for wanting to know. Actually, it's all over the world now, thanks to the bird flyways -
I live in a very international city and I hear alot from others who are from all over, how they remember it in their country -
Iran's "forest sickness," the guy and his dog who got it in the Philippines in the 80s, the penguins in Antarctica with tick diseases, etc etc -
The whole world needs to know, and how to protect -

I have lived in Arkansas now for 14 yrs. now and before that I was a native Californian. I have suffered from fatique and mononucleosis symptoms ever since I was 12 yrs old (yr 1976) but it was after moving to Arkansas, and around 2003-2004 that I started having many symptoms resembling the normal misdiagnosed (lupus, fibromyalgia, chronic mono, RA, CFS) and the same Doctor followed my symptoms and care up until he finally tested me for Lyme last yr and got a positive lab. Basically long story/short sorry.. We think I've had it since a known tick bite (no rash) in Jasper, Arkansas. Looking at about 8-10 yrs for a cure or remission at least. Arkansas does not currently admit that we have Lyme disease carrying ticks here.
