Ticks Are Pestering New Canaan Residents At An Increased Rate: Report

NEW CANAAN, CT — Ticks continue to pester New Canaan residents, and the numbers appear to be rising, reports the New Canaan News.

More ticks have been submitted to town health officials for testing for Lyme disease so far this August than in the same month last year, but the increase was expected due to the mild winter.

"To facilitate the diagnosis and treatment of Lyme disease, residents can bring ticks to their local health department office, and health officials will arrange for the identification and testing of the tick," states Network of Care.
