Is Leishmaniasis on the rise in Florida?

Hi everyone, I've been feeling a bit concerned lately and wanted to reach out to this community. I live in Florida and it seems like I'm hearing more and more about cases of Leishmaniasis, both in humans and pets. It used to feel like a very rare, almost 'exotic' disease, but now I'm starting to wonder if it's becoming more prevalent in our area. I've even been noticing some skin changes on myself that are making me a little paranoid, though it could easily be something else entirely. Has anyone else living in Florida noticed an increase in discussions or actual cases of Leishmaniasis? Are there specific symptoms or risk factors we should be more aware of here? I'm trying not to panic, but any insights or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated. It's always helpful to hear from others who might be seeing or experiencing similar things.
