Experts: May be worst season for Lyme disease yet (AP)

MADISON, Wis. – A leading entomologist in Wisconsin says there could be a record number of cases of Lyme disease this year after a high of 1,441 were reported last season.

“It would not surprise me a bit to set a new record this year,” said Phil Pellitteri, a University of Wisconsin-Madison entomologist.
