We have eight notifiable tick-borne diseases, with Lyme disease being the most common, and Delaware is classified as a high incidence state for Lyme, with an incidence rate nearly three times the threshold. I highlighted the importance of reporting these diseases to aid in epidemiological investigations and policy-making. Additionally, I shared insights from our syndromic surveillance on emergency department visits for tick bites, which peak in May and June.
