IOWA has 99 counties! ********************
anyone know how to access each state's health dept. reported cases?
of the 3 links shown above, they show total nos. only, NOT by county.
tincup, help us out further; how is this project being used please. i don't know mind helping, but explaining more than what you did above would be most helpful if it's going to take A LOT OF TIME on our parts.
thanks my ice cream friend whose stick man is my 1st polka dancing partner in the future!

California:
58 counties
- Lyme infected ticks found in 42 counties - Deer ticks fond in 56 counties
I suppose that leaves 2 counties with no reports?

From 1998-2003, in Louisiana, 41 out of 64 parishes had reported Lyme disease cases.
I know they said they had only one case in one parish in 2006 (wasn't mine-go figure)
Trying to get 2004 and 2005 info now.
Hugs,
Geneal
(I should note that I live in the Parish with the highest number of CDC positive Lyme cases)

I'll see what I can find for Colorado.
We really ought to be reporting both HUMAN and DOG Lyme cases..... dogs that spend any amount of time outdoors are about 100 times more likely to get ticks and Lyme than people.......

Lucia Hui the California Department of Health Services Field Biologist who got Lymed- got Lymed on the job in one of those 2 Califorina counties "with no Lyme" and reported and documented the bite- I tihnk it was Inyo County if I remember right- I htink the other is Modoc- and it was counted as having been from another county because it goes by COUNTY OF RESIDENCE not where you actually GET BITTEN!!!!!!!!! Isn't that absolutely !@)@&@^% crazy? Oh those CA Dept of Health Services people!!! She was/is great, haven't talked to her in a while- but SHE couldn't get diagnosed or treated properly doing HER job!!!Illustrated how horrible it all is!!!
Anyway, she was always very emphatic about Inyo County during slideshows- IT HAS LYME*)!

There are 64 counties in Colorado.
According to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, there were NO REPORTED CASES of Lyme Disease in the entire state in:
If we look at dogs, it tells a different story. There have been 968 positive Lyme tests for dogs in Colorado....
Here's a map showing cases of Lyme and other diseases by state for dogs, and you can click on your state to see the counties; however, it does not state what time period this covers.......

There are 23 counties in Wyoming.
I finally found some Lyme stats on the Wyoming Department of Health page, but the info is in PDF, and the processor in my computer goes crazy every time I try to use Adobe. All I could get was the stats from 2005.
2005: Albany County - 1 case Laramie County - 1 case Teton County - 1 case
Maybe somebody else can get the info - here is the page with links to each year:

There are no reported cases of Lyme disease for the years of 2004-2005 in Louisiana.
The CDC really needs to change it's standards/protocol for survellience of Lyme disease.
Any ideas on how this is done???!!!
Can it be done?
I am up for another letter writing campaign...

Great!
I have copied all this and it will be used. Thanks BG for sending it out.. and I hope they do note it is only for states west of the Mississippi River.
I need to know where Lyme is NOT considered to be endemic basically. Oh.. and I need it ASAP!!! Of course. New development I am working on as we speak.
Geneal...
Hold that thought! By Thursday or Friday you should see some IMPORTANT .. and of course, last minute news... cause we just found out and are working as fast as we can go on a project. OK?
I THINK I will be headed out shortly so will be off line till further notice. Someone should post the news and info for everyone here.

tincup, yes i emphasized in COLOR west of mississippi river...

Sorry, Tinny, but I have no idea what we are doing here...... and I don't know what you mean by ``endemic'' - are you going by the `4 reported cases in a year' constitutes ``endemic''?
Anyway.....
Hawaii - 5 counties 1 Reported case of Lyme in 1993 - no cases in any year since then through 2005
Montana - 56 counties 0 Reported cases from 1993 through 2005
New Mexico - 87 counties 2002 - 1 case 2003 - 1 case 2004 - 1 case 2005 - 3 cases
Then click on Infectious Diseases in NM 2005 for the PDF file.
I looked at Utah, Idaho, Alaska and Arizona - they all have years since 2001 where there were 4 or more cases reported in any one year.
That's it - I'm done here. I'm not sure that I'm doing anything to help.

i'm waiting for iowa's dept. of health to get bck to me on nos. since i could not access their 2 sites on tick-borne and infectious disease sites!
i was given this info for iowa, and it MAY pertain to other states as well replacing IA for YOUR STATE'S 2 LETTER abbreviation.
In 2006, there were 97 cases of Lyme disease REPORTED in Iowa.
These were from residents of 37 Iowa counties. *********************************************
Cases are documented from county of residence not necessarily were the disease was acquired .
We know that the tick that carries Lyme is present throughout Iowa so the potential for acquiring the disease in Iowa goes throughtout the state."

Nebraska Has 93 counties,,if I recall correctly it said we had 2 reported cases of lyme in the whole state for the inclusive years of the chart.
Hogwash, we have many more,everybody I seem to talk to lately knows somebody else that HAS it,,but of course NON reported I spose.
Newspaper says the tier of counties norrth of me are hotbeds for getting infected and named about three for sures,,,and there has to be ALOT more than that roaming around wondering who hit them over the head with a barn door and forgot to yell 'fore'---warned!!!respectfully--just don--
