Deer Ticks Are Active in North Haven, CT — Here’s What To Do
Lyme disease starts with a tick you didn’t notice — and we’re already seeing deer ticks across North Haven, Hamden, and surrounding areas earlier than most people expect.
This one came off a family member in North Haven last week.
Check your body after being outside:
Behind knees, groin, armpits, behind ears, hairline, waistband.
👉 Shower within 2 hours — it helps you find them before they attach.
If you find a tick:
Use tweezers, grab close to the skin, and pull straight out. Don’t twist or burn it. Clean the area and save the tick if possible.
Not sure if it’s dangerous?
Services like TickReport (Amherst, MA) will test ticks for Lyme and other pathogens and send results in a few days.
