The analysts also pointed to data from 2017, however, which showed North Carolina had the third highest number of claims — which they said suggested the disease was spreading in new areas. FAIR Health did not reveal the raw numbers behind its percentages, because this was 'not informative'.
When contacted by DailyMail. com, a spokesman pointed to a page run by Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, Maryland, which gave the figures for U. S.
states individually by month as claims per 100,000 people. It did not give an overall figure for the country, or for rural vs urban areas. Awareness of Lyme disease has risen in recent years after celebrities became infected with the illness.
Shania Twain was diagnosed with the disease in the early 2000s, saying it was 'quite scary' as it left her feeling very dizzy on stage and suffering blackouts. Last year Yolanda Hadid revealed she had been diagnosed with the 'invisible disease' — which she said reduced her from a social butterfly to someone suffering anxiety, brain fog and flu-like symptoms. But the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has also raised by a third its estimate of how many people are catching Lyme disease, in a sign it is becoming more widespread.
In 2014, they said 300,000-odd people were being infected every 12 months. But last year they raised this to 476,000. FAIR Health President Robin Gelburd said their data suggested the illness remains a 'growing public health concern'.
