Sounds like a classic medical business opportunity for an all-in-one testing device sold to doctor's offices in high-lyme areas

  Great. I just Googled "lyme disease map" after reading through a bunch of comments and now I'm terrified to live in NY

    Not for the faint of heart: https://www.cdc.gov/lyme/stats/maps.html https://www.cdc.gov/lyme/stats/maps.html

      Note that this is most likely a population map. That's why Western Mass, Adirondacks, and north of Bar Harbor are nearly void. Each dot represents "patient’s county of residence."

        Not quite, it's definitely more clustered in the northeast than population (which has sizeable centers in Texas, California, etc)

        Each dot is placed randomly within each patient's county of residence.

        It's very different than a population map. To see, you can compare it with this map from the Census: https://www.census.gov/dmd/www/pdf/512popdn.pdf https://www.census.gov/dmd/www/pdf/512popdn.pdf
