This is an extensive website with many links to researched information. It's known that Lyme tick exposures are found in every state in the US esp. in wooded areas. Pets can carry Lyme tick nymphs which are so small they are undectectable and easily transferred to humans so you don't even have to be out in the woods or tall grass yourself.
Here's a link to my Lyme report and list of symptoms and other details.
