wow…NY is the highest, I live in NY and have lyme.
R,
NY having the highest incidences of LD is not surprising because of its’ population size and forest density,
I too live in NY and many of my neighbors either have had it or know somebody struggling with it.
Even Dr Rau’s studies have shown that 40% of the population has LD antibody which means that they have been exposed to it.
