Reported Cases
The CDC states for every case of Lyme disease reported
At least ten are missed!
In 2008 the CDC surveillance criteria used to determine if a case of Lyme disease was reportable (and other tick borne diseases) was made more restrictive, giving the false impression in some areas that there are now less cases of Lyme disease than in previous years.
