"Right now in Jefferson County, we are seeing an uptick (dấu kiểm cộng, kiểm kê) in Lyme Disease, especially the last several years. If we can wind back the clock around 10 years, we had no Lyme Disease in Jefferson County and in the last 8 or 9 years, we have seen an uptick almost every year. Just in my small practice in Jefferson County, I’ve seen four or five cases in the last 2 weeks.
