I wonder the same thing... I grew up in the Adirondacks. NEVER saw a tick... EVER. Spent summer days in woods/fields/etc.

Now they are EVERYWHERE up there (as well as down here). I've heard various theories, but I really can't find any of them very convincing.

So... the selfish side of me hopes that Lyme becomes epidemic. So some money goes into to finding a viable cure for those who don't respond to the current ABX's used today. Without more sick people, no serious money goes into
