As of the end of September, the Ohio Department of Health reported at least 285 human cases of Lyme disease so far in 2022.“Cases have steadily risen,” said Nate King, the supervisor for Summit County Public Health’s Healthy Homes initiative. “As the years go by, you can see that in the activity and the numbers, it’s moving both west and north.”
The Barberton 17-year-old began feeling sick about six years ago, but was not diagnosed with Lyme disease and several other co-illnesses until four years after she first noticed the symptoms. She said Gabby, who had been an excellent student, involved in numerous activities and hobbies, found herself no longer capable of doing things she enjoyed.
“If we go there and [the doctor] only takes away one set of symptoms, it’d be worth it because then it would be one thing off her plate and she’d be stronger to battle some of the other things,” Denise Risley said.
