Maine is now one of the highest states for incidences of lime disease. This is understandable because so many people work in the woods and Maine is an outdoor paradise for sportsmen.
During the sixties and seventies I was a survival instructor in northern Maine. We put as many as fifty students through our courses a week and never once did we have a tick on any instructor or student.
Ticks came into Maine sometimes in the nineties. Now they are a major concern whenever you go into fields or woods.
