August is one of the peak months during which Lyme Disease is contracted. 

"However," says OAA
Rheumatologist Mythili Seetharaman, MD, "You can substantially decrease your risk for getting Lyme Disease by taking the following steps:" 
  • Wear long sleeves and long pants in heavily wooded areas
  • Apply insect repellant
  • Do not allow children and pets to wander in the woods
  • Perform tick checks and remove ticks promtply with tweezers
  • Seek medical attention immediately, as Lyme Disease can be treated, especially if diagnosed early
