Curious how long lyme disease has been around? Did the settlers and natives deal with this? Were they immune?

Lyme disease has been around for thousands of years. Prevalence in North American humans probably exploded after colonization, forest changes on the East Coast, and predator removal.

Anecdotal of course, but I’m seeing a substantial uptick (see what I did there!) in numbers in my area. Local places I’ve gone for decades+ without issue are now causing big problems for myself and especially my dog.

at least you didn’t say “no pun intended”

why do people intentionally say a pun and then say “no pun intended”? anyway…

Same here, anecdotally, more ticks than there used to be.
