Summer in Connecticut often means outdoors activities such as gardening, playing in the yard and walking with sandals. It also is prime time for ticks and tick borne infections such as Lyme disease. Knowing how the disease is spread and how to take pre-cautions will help you and your family stay healthy this summer.  Use the library resources to be prepared for Lyme Disease.
