Thanks for posting this. I've lived in Chicago since 1998, but when I first fell ill (in 1987), I lived in Ridgefield, CT.

When my western blot came back positive 2 years ago, my regular doctor (who knows my long history of illness) asked me if I had been to Wisconsin recently. I told him no.

Now I wonder if I was perhaps reinfected?

Here's a laughable quote...

"The Chicago area is not a great risk area for Lyme disease," Nelson said. Wisconsin, Minnesota and the Northeast -- where ticks have established themselves in residential areas -- pose a more significant threat.
