My name is Chris Dodge and I live right here in the great state of Tennessee. My family and I are full adventurers filled with passion to see the amazing things our state has to offer. We are avid hikers and have explored many different places in Tennessee and beyond but we are always thankful to be living in such a glorious state.
We do our best to bring to you the best travel destinations found within our beautiful state, but other times, we come bearing bad news. Today is one of those times. There is a tickborne illness that is on the rise in Maine, and while we certainly don’t like covering these pests, they are becoming more of a problem. It’s important for locals and visitors alike to understand the risks of encountering them, what to do if you’re bitten by a tick, and what preventative measures you can take to remain safe while enjoying Maine’s unparalleled natural areas. Here’s what you need to know about this potential threat.
We wanted to make everyone aware that there is a tickborne illness on the rise in Maine, but just like a long cold winter, we will get through this issue too. We did it before and we can do it again, and again, and again, because just like winter, ticks are always going to be a part of our life in Maine.

There is also another potential tick treat coming our way so be on the lookout for the Asian Longhorned Tick.
