Lyme Disease
Within the United States, Lyme disease occurs most often in the Northeast and Upper Midwest. In Wisconsin, Lyme disease is the most common illness spread by ticks.
The ticks that spread Lyme disease can be found in every county in Wisconsin. Not all tick bites will make you sick, but it’s important to protect yourself and your family while enjoying time outdoors.
