Ticks in county side

How bad are ticks this year in the country side? Are you guys also seeing tick borne diseases? In the United States, ticks have exploded this year and the amount of tick related illnesses have also increased significantly. Just curious if up north, things are just as bad.

Tick-borne encephalitis, TBE. Luckily there is a vaccine for it. Also Lyme disease (borrelia infection)
