The Lyme Disease Association has a really nice map of reported cases of Lyme disease nationwide.

If you click on the state you are interested in you’ll see the total number for each year (1990 - 2014) for that state.

https://www.lymediseaseassociation.org/LDA_Apps/content/Maps/index.html#

Notice how one state has a total in the thousands or tens of thousands, and the one next to it only has a few hundred reported cases.

Must be the CDC/IDSA/Health Department's "human error". Or ticks can read signs on the border of low number states saying to keep out.

"Notice how one state has a total in the thousands or tens of thousands, and the one next to it only has a few hundred reported cases."

"reported" is the key term here

Bet numbers for "identified in a timely manner" & "treated correctly" would be much lower, too.

In states with no LLMDs "allowed" yet with LL NDs, it's an easy bet as to just who are actually identifying the need for testing in patients.

I see TN is very low. Yet on their state parks website they had a huge warning about ticks and Lyme--at least they did when I looked earlier this summer as I thought about hiking there.

I certainly don't believe the total number of Lyme cases is accurate, either, for that many years.
