Can I get Lyme disease in any state?

No. In the United States, most infections occur in the following endemic areas:

  • Northeast and mid-Atlantic, from northeastern Virginia to Maine
  • North central states, mostly in Wisconsin and Minnesota
  • West Coast, particularly northern California

Cases are sometimes diagnosed and reported from an area where Lyme disease is not expected, but they are almost always travel-related.
