CDC reports surge in tick bites as populations expand nationwide

健康

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported a surge in emergency department visits from tick bites across the United States, marking the highest level since 2017. The agency said the number of such visits had risen to that peak and officials warned that an intensified tick season could increase disease incidence. Later analysis indicated that tick populations are spreading into new U.

S. regions, driven by warmer climates and growing deer numbers. The expansion raises the risk of Lyme disease and the meat allergy known as Alpha-gal syndrome, according to PBS.
