These diseases are not native to San Diego County and are rarely seen here unless people have contracted them somewhere else. It was first detected in the North County in Escondido and just a few weeks ago one was found in Chula Vista. The South County started seeing them early in 2015 and Heath Officials don’t know how it spread to the North County.
