How do I avoid getting Lyme disease or Babesiosis?

Both are tick borne diseases that are endemic in Southern New England and the Mid-Atlantic States. Generally the tick must remain attached for a significant length of time to cause disease. The best prevention while out of doors in a wooded area is to use repellent, wear long sleeve shirts and pants and to examine yourself after finishing your activities and to promptly remove any ticks.
