Link to map below. Keep in mind these are reported cases, actual cases are probably much higher due to non-compliance with reporting procedures, Non CDC-Positive results, and so on.... http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvbid/lyme/ld_Incidence.htmPosts: 249 | From Northern NJ | Registered: Jul 2005

Once again Pennsylvania and Maryland are topping the list with the most reported cases of Lyme disease so far this year, with California coming in third. And it's still JANUARY!
In mid-December 2007, the Maryland DHMH reported to legislators that they had over 1,000 new cases they hadn't completed or counted. However, the total for Maryland in 2007 did NOT reflect those extra 1,000 cases. Where did they go?
13 states have already reported cases this year... in JANUARY.... and many are cold weather states.
Colorado, which usually only reports a couple of cases per year, if any, already has one on record.
DC dropped from 62 to 13 cases in one year 06-07. Was one of the 13 cases President Bush's case?
Connecticut dropped again (2006-07)- no doubt due to their new fangled, high dollar reporting system that still isn't working properly.
Florida already has several cases reported so far this year, which is unusual.
Guam, Puerto Rico, South Dakota and Oklahoma were the only ones reporting NO CASES LAST YEAR.
Since reporting began in 1980 we have increased from 120 cases a year to over 20,000 cases per year, nationwide. These figures represent ONLY the reported cases.
According to the CDC, for a more accurate figure multiple the numbers by 10. That will provide you with the CDC 10-fold assessment totals and will show what they believe to be closer to the actual number of cases occurring.
And note: 75-90 percent of people with Lyme are being missed using the current standard tests, according to Hopkins and ILADS studies.
These people have little chance of ever being counted, much less diagnosed and/or treated properly, which can result in hundreds of thousands developing late stage Lyme and possibly becoming disabled or worse in the next few years.
Betty note: I tried printing out the chart, but it goes SIDEWAYS, and tried printing in pages 1, 2, 3; it kept printing page 1 only! So just a warning if others try to do this; use your PRINT REVIEW FIRST which I did, and indicated DIFFERENT pages, but still got page 1 only! I gave up after 8 tries! uffda

It is a printable map that shows the total number of reported cases of Lyme per year in each state... and the total number of cases over-all for each state.
Thought it might be of help to those doing research, reports, support group meetings, etc.
I don't know who "did it" but thanks! *************
