HEALTH ALERT: CHECK FOR TICKS. PREVENT LYME DISEASE & OTHER TICK -BORNE ILLNESSES
May is Lyme Disease Awareness Month, and Tompkins County Whole Health (TCWH) is alerting the community to be aware of the
dangers of contracting Lyme Disease and other illnesses as a result of bites from ticks.
The New York State Department of Health (NYS DOH) has created a video on proper tick removal and a printable card with steps on
how to remove ticks.
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has developed an interactive tool that will assist individuals on removing attached ticks and
determining when to seek health care, if appropriate, after a tick bite.
Please visit our website for more resources and information.
