Yup, that's under control, not underreported from the officials.

 Lyme Disease Is Under Control - (RICHMOND) -- A General Assembly study
shows the number of cases of Lyme disease has increased 25-fold in the
nation since 1982, but it's NOT considered a major problem in {*filter*}ia. The
Joint Commission on Health Care says {*filter*}ia is a ``low risk'' state for
the tick-borne illness. Its symptoms include rash, fatigue, fever and
chills. State officials say 72 cases of Lyme disease were reported in
{*filter*}ia last year, with most occurring in the eastern section of the
commonwealth.

Depending on what answer you are looking for I can produce a study that will
back up your claim. The tobacco companies did this for years.

It is amazing how those little ticks decided that they would stop at the
{*filter*}ia border. Awfully nice of them. By the way. I don't think {*filter*}ia has
any deer either.

So now {*filter*}ia has Lyme under control!!??

Too little too late for me.  I am fairly sure that is where I got it.  VA beach
or Williamsburg - wouldn't want to lose all that tourism $$$ would we?

Why do they publish this stuff anyway?  Who is it published for?

It supports the "Overdiagnosis" part in the conservative mantra that Lyme is
overdiagnosed and overtreated by our open-minded docs.  It is for the
continued support of the conservative hypotheses that are now espoused by
the CDC.
