What are some resources for people with lyme disease?

You can turn to your doctor, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, your health department, or extension service for more information on Lyme disease.

You can get recorded information on Lyme disease by calling the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) at 404-332-4555. CDC provides information on Lyme disease to health professionals and the public. CDC also works with the state health departments to track cases of Lyme disease.

Your state or local health department can tell you if Lyme disease has been reported in your area. Your doctor should also report cases of Lyme disease to the health department.

Your county agricultural extension service can advise you on where ticks may be found in your area. They may also be able to supply more information about repellents, treating pets, and the use of insecticides for tick control.
