The note about vacation areas is pretty important. Nantucket’s population increases by 5x in the summer, and number of people who visit for shorter times is probably 20-50x the reported population.
What decisions are you making based on this? Being careful (wearing long pants, inspecting for ticks after being out, etc.) in any tick-likely habitat in the entire region seems wise, without very much variation.
Right. I initially thought that this explained the difference, but when they count a case towards Nantucket they’re only counting it if the person is a resident of Nantucket.
