Scary isn't it !
I live in CT and 7 people on my street alone have chronic lyme.

There are probably many more cases north than south but that doesn't help if you have been diagnosed with it.
I always thought it was carried by the deertick and I didn't know that Florida had deer.
Always thought it is far more prevalent in northeast. We had cases in Ohio but not anyone I knew had been diagnosed.
But like all bad news that I am surprised by, I am sure I am wrong on this one too.
