'Ticking Time Bomb': A new report from the New York State Senate Task Force on Lyme and Tick-Borne Diseases

This year was particularly bad for ticks and tick-borne diseases (TBDs), with Lyme and other TBDs, including deadly cases of Powassan, reaching new areas of the state.

Consequently, the Senate Majority Coalition Task Force on Lyme and Tick-Borne Diseases, on which Senator O'Mara serves as a member, in conjunction with the Senate Standing Committee on Health, conducted a public hearing in August to focus on the ongoing battle with Lyme and TBDs, as well as the dangers and steps to avert greater problems.
