Study: Lyme Disease Is Like a “Ticking Time Bomb”
Yale University research found that several U.S. regions have experienced significant increases in tick-borne diseases like Lyme disease.
Lyme disease was first recognized in 1982, but instances were extremely rare. Now, 490,000 Americans are infected by tick-borne illnesses annually.
The surge is likely due to a large increase in white-tailed deer populations, as the deer tick accounts for 97% of these diseases.
Possible solutions include vaccines for humans and the animals that spread ticks, or in manipulating a tick’s ability to feed off hosts.
