The Fond du Lac County Public Health Officer says she supports a package of bills to combat Lyme disease. The state assembly has approved the bills that require the DNR to post Lyme disease warnings on state land and sell insect repellent at state parks and forests. The senate passed the bills in October and they next go to governor Tony Evers. Fond du Lac County Public Health Officer Kim Mueller says Lyme disease has been confirmed in every county in the state.

The average number of Lyme disease cases in Wisconsin has more than doubled over the last decade. Mueller says last year there were seven confirmed cases and 10 probable cases in Fond du Lac County.
