Lyme disease cases soar to 475,000 annually, straining healthcare as new tick threats emerge.
Lyme disease cases have risen to 475,000 annually in the U.S., up from 300,000 a decade ago, as deer ticks spread.
This increase strains healthcare systems, especially for Lyme arthritis, a disease that can be hard to diagnose and treat.
Meanwhile, the Asian Longhorned Tick, found in Michigan, can spread diseases like the Powassan virus.
Experts advise using DEET, wearing long clothing, and checking for ticks to prevent infections.
Emergency room visits for tick bites have also hit a five-year high in the Northeast.
