Lyme Literacy
According to the Pennsylvania Department of Health, Lyme disease is a bacterial infection carried by the blacklegged tick, also called the deer tick. Humans can be infected with Lyme disease through a tick bite. Both ticks and Lyme disease are present — some would say rampant — in all 67 Pennsylvania counties. Many cases of Lyme disease are transmitted by the nymphal deer tick — the size of the period at the end of this sentence. Lyme disease is the fastest-growing vector-borne infectious disease in the country, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
About 30,000 cases of Lyme disease are reported by state health departments annually—but that’s just a fraction of actual Lyme cases, as many cases aren’t properly diagnosed and states have differing reporting data. The CDC estimates as many as 476,000 people may be contracting Lyme annually. Children account for about 25% of Lyme cases.
