Lyme Disease Details

The threat of Lyme Disease has significantly increased on Cape Cod in recent years. Although DEET-based tick repellant is effective, the most effective way to prevent contact with deer ticks, the carriers of Lyme Disease, is to wear long pants tucked into shoes or boots, long-sleeved shirts, and hats. Visitors are also encouraged to perform thorough tick checks during and after hiking or walking in wooded or grassy areas.
