There is probably a 0% chance anyone in this region got Lyme disease from a tick bite. In this region we have Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and Erlichiosis and that's it. 👍

The CDC reports one confirmed case of lyme in the state of Missouri, so, that's more than 0%. :-) Also, there is a lyme-like disease called the heartland (if I'm not mistaken) found in Southwest Missouri.
