A new tracking system will help keep residents up-to-date about the tick population.
The Department of Health launched a new online dashboard that tracks tickborne illnesses, which includes Lyme Disease.
Officials say this will allow people to see the total number of Lyme cases and other illnesses in each county. They hope this will help residents better understand how pervasive ticks are in communities.
Out of all tickborne illnesses, Lyme Disease remains the most commonly reported and Pennsylvania ranks near the top in the country for most Lyme Disease cases.
