Surge in Blacklegged Ticks in Vermont Raises Health Concerns

Vermont is witnessing a significant increase in blacklegged tick populations, which now account for an alarming 99% of reported tick-borne illnesses in the state. Health officials are sounding the alarm as more than half of the ticks tested have been found to carry Lyme disease, a potentially debilitating illness that can lead to serious health complications if left untreated.

As outdoor activities become more popular with the arrival of warmer weather, the risk of tick encounters rises. Health experts are urging residents and visitors to take necessary precautions when spending time in wooded or grassy areas. Recommended measures include wearing long sleeves and pants, using insect repellent, and conducting thorough tick checks after outdoor excursions.

The rise in tick populations highlights the importance of awareness and prevention strategies to protect public health. With Lyme disease cases on the rise, vigilance is essential to reduce the risk of infection and promote safe outdoor experiences for everyone in Vermont.
