## Resource

Lyme disease just got a wild twist: a rare strain, Borrelia mayonii, has been confirmed in New York for the first time, marking a major geographic shift. Once limited to Wisconsin and Minnesota, this tick-borne bacteria—known for fever, rash, and joint pain—is now showing up in the Empire State, with ticks from a resident’s property testing positive. While statewide numbers remain low, the local concentration is higher than average, underscoring the need for vigilance. With blacklegged ticks spreading nationwide and carrying more than just Lyme, experts urge outdoor caution and regular tick checks.
