Lyme disease, transmitted through tick bites, is increasingly problematic in the U.S., with cases reported in every state. In 2022, 62,551 cases were diagnosed, double the previous decade's average. States like Rhode Island, Vermont, and Maine have the highest infection rates, with Pennsylvania and New Jersey also significantly affected. Climate change is expanding tick populations, leading to more infections. Prevention tips include treating clothing with permethrin, wearing long pants, and avoiding high grass areas.
