It is essential to provide education about Lyme disease to parents and children who live in areas where the disease is endemic. Anticipatory guidance should focus on preventive measures, such as the use of insect repellents (30% diethyltoluamide [DEET]), the wearing of long-sleeve shirts and ...
Ten (72%) of the patients were residents of the Lower Hudson Valley, a Lyme disease-endemic area in which I. scapularis ticks account for most human tick bites. This finding suggests that many of these cases were caused by DTV rather than POWV. In 2 patients, DTV infection was confirmed...
Geographic Region:In areas endemic for Lyme disease, such as parts of the northeastern, north-central, and Pacific coastal U.S., the risk of encountering infected ticks is higher. However, even in these areas, the likelihood of an individual tick bite leading to Lyme disease isn’t 100%. ...

In endemic areas, about 20% of nymphs and 50% of adult deer ticks are infected with the Lyme disease spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi. Bites by adult ticks do not usually cause Lyme disease because they are larger and more easily noticed than nymphs. They are also active in months with less...
