WMTW interviews UMaine Tick Lab director on early tick surge

Griffin Dill, director of the University of Maine Cooperative Extension Tick Lab, spoke with WMTW about increasing tick activity and concerns surrounding Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses in Maine. “Based on where we have been the past couple of years … even though we had a cold winter and a cold, early spring, I don’t anticipate that’s going to have a huge impact on tick-borne disease numbers here in the state,” said Dill.
