Lyme disease cases have been recorded across England and with a warning being issued in Dorset, it’s worth knowing what it is and where the hotspots are.
Cases have been recorded in the south west and a map shows how many cases were recorded in the years between 2019 and 2022.
The map was made by Newsquest and uses ONS data.
In 2019, there were 202 Lyme disease cases recorded in the south west, a number which decreased by just one in 2020 with 201 cases recorded that year.
