Lyme Disease Statistics
2000 Thru 2007
Maryland is the fifth worst state in the nation
for Lyme disease with a total of 2576
cases in 2007.
The problem is concentrated in the central Maryland piedmont with
Montgomery having 475 cases
documented
in 2007, Howard (where I live) having 358,
Baltimore
having 267, Carroll having 252 and Frederick having 221.
As you read the list note the nearly doubling
of tick bite Lyme disease in just
the last year! 2008 statistics
have
not been published yet, but I look forward to seeing
where the hot-spots are and
if the numbers have doubled again.
It's more important than
ever to be conscientious about ticks, considering where
we live.
