Detailed explanation-1: -Ticks capable of spreading Lyme disease bacteria are widely distributed in forested areas across the eastern United States (I. scapularis) and in Pacific Coast states (I. pacificus). In the eastern United States, infected ticks are found primarily in the northeastern, midwestern, and mid-Atlantic states.
Detailed explanation-2: -Lyme disease is a bacterial infection spread to humans by infected ticks. It’s also known as Lyme borreliosis. Ticks are tiny spider-like creatures found in woodland and moorland areas. They feed on the blood of birds and mammals, including humans.
Detailed explanation-3: -In order to get Lyme disease, a person must be bitten by a blacklegged tick (also known as deer tick or bear tick) that is infected with the Lyme disease bacteria. On average, about 1 in 3 adult blacklegged ticks and 1 in 5 blacklegged tick nymphs (immature stage) are infected with Lyme disease bacteria.
