Preventing Lyme Disease in Montgomery County
Spring and summer brings warm temperatures, just right for walking in the woods and other outdoor activities. Warm weather also means that ticks become active and this can lead to the transmission of Lyme disease.
Montgomery County Executive Isiah Leggett has joined Montgomery County health and parks officials, along with community residents, to launch a multi-pronged public education campaign about Lyme disease. The number of cases of Lyme disease has increased in Montgomery County, in part due to better reporting, and there were more than 300 new cases of Lyme disease reported in 2007.
