• Amherst Ranked High Risk for Tick-Borne Disease (amherstindy.org) — Pelham currently has the highest TickZone score in Hampshire County, putting local residents at especially high risk for tick-borne diseases like Lyme and anaplasmosis. Amherst and most surrounding towns are also rated high risk, largely due to heavy forest cover. Experts urge residents to cover up outdoors, use repellent, and carefully check themselves, children, and pets for ticks.
