Lyme Disease Pictures

Lyme disease has spread slowly along the central, eastern and western United States. It has covered the state of Michigan and New York (especially the Hudson River Valley).

Also, the disease has been reported also in the British Isles, Russia, Europe, China and Japan. In Germany every year there are about 40,000 new cases. The risk is particularly high in areas where there are plenty of ticks infected with Borrelia (endemic areas, such as the Middle Mountains of Germany).

Lyme Disease Symptoms Unable to clearly identify how ticks spread, but there are some indicative factors such as migration of birds, deer and other larger mammals, and infected ticks on pets and people can release while traveling around the world.

Other theories that attempt to explain the spread of Lyme disease include: Increasing the population of deer due to reforestation and restrictions on deer hunting and the increase in housing construction in areas where extended Lyme disease.
