CONCORD — Gov. Kelly Ayotte last week declared the month of May as Lyme Disease Awareness Month in New Hampshire, urging all Granite Staters to take proactive steps to protect themselves and their families from tick-borne illnesses as the weather warms up.

“As the temperature rises and we spend more time outdoors, we must be vigilant about ticks and the diseases they can carry. Lyme disease is a serious health concern, but there are simple steps we can take to prevent tick bites and reduce the risk of illness,” said Governor Ayotte. “I encourage everyone to stay informed, take precautions, and help spread awareness during Lyme Disease Awareness Month.”
