What is the prevalence of Lyme Disease?
Prevalence of Lyme Disease: how many people are affected worldwide, differences by sex and region, with sources.
I'm not sure what the prevalence is. I would almost suspect more men have it since they tend to do more outdoor activities.

Very prevalent. Most of the people I know with Lyme disease were healthy until they had some life event that caused them to be stressed out and sick. Then the Lyme treatment made them disabled. It's more prevalent than we think, but also missing the key factor. People don't get sick from a tickbite, they get sick from the lowered immune system.

The CDC now speculates that there are at least 300,000 new cases per year, making "it the fastest growing vector-borne infectious disease in the United States." Some sources say it has been confirmed in at least 80 other countries around the globe. It is a pandemic.

It is very important. It can affect anyone. Children are more prone since they play outdoors more often during tick season.

They say approximately 320,000 a year in the USA and Germany is at 1 million new cases per year. It does depend where you live as to how high your chance will be
