The JSU researchers said they hope their work will lead to a more accurate understanding of Lyme disease in Alabama.
“We want to make sure these cases are reported for this state,” Murdock said.
Carter said Lyme disease is of particular concern to him because he has suffered from the illness. While he said he doesn’t know where he picked up the causative ticks, but he does say he has had a difficult time receiving a proper diagnosis for the illness in Alabama.
“When I got really sick, I just went through what most people go through,” Carter said. “They’re just going to tell you there is no Lyme in Alabama.”
