There is no key for this map. What do the circles represent?

Is there an interactive map to be able to zoom in and see cases in counties/towns, etc. It is hard to differentiate the geography in the CNY area. Thanks.

I’ve had Lyme three times and never saw a tick. Checking is fine, but I wear treated clothes and boots anytime I’m hiking. They are cheap considering the Permethrin treatment last through 70 washes. I wear self-treated boots, socks (over my pants) and a long-sleeved shirt. Lyme, though rarely fatal, was significantly less pleasant than Covid — in my experience.

Diagnostics company ID-Fish Technology announced today that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cleared its new Lyme disease test.

The iDart Lyme IgG ImmunoBlot Kit is a stand-alone test for detecting Lyme-specific immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies that includes 31 Lyme antigen bands, more than any other Lyme test on the market. The company says the inclusion of 31 antigens will improve the sensitivity of Lyme disease diagnosis in suspected patients without sacrificing specificity.

"The R&D team at ID-FISH has worked tirelessly on making sure that we deliver the most accurate test possible for the detection of Lyme disease," ID-Fish Technology Chief Scientific Officer Jyotsna Shah, PhD, said in a company press release. "We look forward to working with partners to get these tests to patients who need a correct diagnosis."

Around 475,000 Americans annually are diagnosed with Lyme disease, which is caused by Borrelia burgdorferi, a type of bacteria carried by black-legged (deer) ticks.
