Abstract
More than 75,000 cases of Lyme disease are reported each year in Europe and the United States. Prophylactic treatment after tick bites is only one part of a plan for primary prevention. Other strategies include checking for ticks, use of acaricides, management of vegetation, use of repellents, and techniques to reduce deer and rodent populations. Reducing tick populations can help prevent all tick-borne illnesses.Keywords
