This dashboard could help you stave off bugs
The Pennsylvania Department of Health launched a new tick dashboard that features data on tickborne disease activity in the state, most notably Lyme disease cases. It also features information on preventing tick bites, removing ticks safely and other educational resources.
The DOH aimed to get the dashboard ready before the summer spike in bites so that the data would be accessible for health care providers for easier diagnosis of tickborne diseases.
