The answer to this is, yes. Every state and most countries have Lyme. The canine map of the infected dogs shows that they have a case in every state now, and where dogs can get it, humans can too. So if you’re PCP is telling you that there is no Lyme in your state, please show him this.
Note: On the map below, white stands for “no reported cases.” There is not one state that is white.

Here are news articles, maps, statistics related to each state.
