Risk Factors
- people who spend a lot of time outside in wooded areas
- people with outdoor occupations
- people who live in the Northwest and Midwest USA (ex. Oregon and Washington)
- Working outside with bare or exposed skin
- Failing to remove a tick as soon as you see it on your skin (the longer a tick is attached to your skin the greater your risk of developing Lyme disease.) [1]
