Angus King, would devote $100 million in federal funding through 2026 for data collection and analysis to support early detection, diagnosis and treatment, and to raise awareness. More than 1,800 ticks were delivered to the tick lab between April 1 and Sept. 4. Of the 1,150 ticks tested, 37 percent had Lyme disease.
