I have an hour (so please hurry) and you how it is - when you're looking for something in particular, you can't find it!
I need some statistics on how rampant LD is. Nationwide, state of PA, with kids, that kind of thing.
I've been looking at marylandlyme and CALDA and ILADS and LymePA but just not seeing it! Help!

Google "lyme disease cases in pa" and you should be able to find a lot of information.

Top 10 List (2010) for Lyme Disease Reported Cases Nationwide. PA is number one in the USA. (Multiply the numbers by 10 to get the CDC 10-fold number- cases missed).
Pennsylvania- Total Reported Cases- 3,805
(Or... 38,050 using CDC 10-fold criteria)
New Jersey- 3,712 Wisconsin- 3,488 New York- 3,425 Massachusetts - 3,263 Connecticut- 3,068 Minnesota- 1,960 Maryland- 1,617 New Hampshire- 1,339 Virginia- 1,245

My calculation- Using the CDC 10-fold criteria number 38,050 for 2010... (divided by 365 days in a year)
On average, over 100 people per day are contracting Lyme disease in Pennsylvania.
