These states are seeing their worst tick activity in nearly 10 years: Data
The CDC previously warned that emergency department visits for tick bites have reached the highest rate in nearly 10 years, while experts have warned we could be in “for a very bad year” when it comes to these pests. The latest tick bite data from the CDC, updated on Sunday, shows 105 of every 100,000 emergency department visits recorded in April were bite-related. That’s the highest recorded rate for April since 2017 — as far back as the CDC’s publicly available data stretches — when 101 of every 100,000 visits were prompted by tick bites.
