I'm from PA, lyme is pretty common here.

One of my friends moved to Seattle, and one when he came back to visit family he managed to catch it.

Apparently he got a call from the state health department in Washington after he got his test results back basically asking "where the hell did you get Lyme disease"

He told them he'd been in PA, and they were basically like "ok yeah that checks out"
