Helpful information! Are you able to tell the difference?
Patients frequently find dog ticks on their bodies; thankfully dog ticks are not known to transmit Lyme disease.

Can you tell the difference between a deer tick and an American dog tick? Use the color and decoration on the shield on the back and body color to determine which tick you are dealing with. Learn more at www.maine.gov/lyme.

Please join us for our next book club on May 14th at 6pm. We are excited to discuss the book, James, by Percival Evertt. This novel reimagines Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn from the perspective of the enslaved man, Jim, who is renamed James. Some of us are also re-reading the novel Huckleberry Finn, but this is not necessary to enjoy James. We are looking forward to the 14th!
