SB329 Providing for continuing education in Lyme disease and related tick-borne diseases for health care professionals. Providing for continuing education in Lyme disease and related tick-borne diseases for health care professionals. The General Assembly finds and declares as follows: (1) In 2024, the Department of Health recorded 15,793 lab-confirmed cases of Lyme disease in this Commonwealth. (2) Research from the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggests that these numbers are undercounted by a factor of 10, meaning as many as 157,000 cases of Lyme disease may have occurred in this Commonwealth in 2024. (3) The Department of Environmental Protection published a study in 2015 that confirmed a high risk of Lyme disease in every county of this Commonwealth and found all 67 counties had the blacklegged tick. (4) The early clinical diagnosis and appropriate treatment of these tick-borne disorders and diseases can greatly reduce the risks of continued, diverse and chronic symptoms that can affect every system and organ of the human body and often every aspect of an individual's life. (5) Residents of this Commonwealth should be aware of early disseminated and persistent symptoms and should know that a negative Lyme test cannot rule out Lyme disease. (6) Scientific understanding of these complex tick-borne illnesses is expected to evolve rapidly in the next decade, including diagnosis and treatment options. (7) The high burden of tick-borne diseases in this Commonwealth requires an urgent and ongoing response. Health care practitioner education is a specific strategy recommended. In Committee
