Experts are warning Pennsylvanians to stay vigilant ahead of peak tick season as Lyme disease continues to be a problem in the state.

Pennsylvania is ranked as one of the worst in the country when it comes to the number of yearly Lyme disease cases.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Commonwealth has seen the highest number of cases in the U.S. in 11 of the past 12 years on record.

“Lyme disease and tick-borne disease are a huge concern that people need to be aware of," said Vector-Borne Disease Program Specialist Emily Struckhoff with Penn State Extension.

Would be nice if "news" would spread information about the other tick borne diseases we have so much of. Anaplasmosis and alpha-gal are pretty common too. Still like zero awareness of them out there. Fix it.
