CDC: Pa. Ranks No.1 In Cases Of Lyme Disease

WGAL
Pennsylvania had more cases of Lyme disease than any other state and the national Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said the number is rising.

The CDC said Pennsylvania had 5,730 cases of Lyme disease in 2003.

The state had 27 percent of the national total and an increase of 44 percent from 2002.

The president of the Central Pennsylvania Lyme Disease Association said rural sprawl and Pennsylvania's outdoor activities such as hiking, camping, hunting and fishing put people in the direct path of the main carrier of Lyme disease, ticks.
