Maine CDC Health Advisory

2025 Lyme and Other Tickborne Disease Information

Ticks are already active this year in Maine following a record year in 2024. As the weather warms, the Maine CDC expects an increase in the number of Lyme and other tickborne disease case reports. The purpose of this advisory is to remind health care providers to consider testing patients presenting with possible tickborne disease. May is Lyme Disease Awareness Month in Maine and the Maine CDC encourages all Mainers to prioritize tick bite prevention with the message "Don't Let a Tick Make You Sick."
