Stay safe and healthy! The South Portland Board of Health would like to share some important information about Lyme Disease, browntail moths and rodent prevention.
- Lyme Disease - May is Lyme Disease Awareness Month! We urge everyone to prevent tick bites. Don’t let a little tick cause a big problem! Learn more at www.maine.gov/lyme
- Browntail Moths - Browntail moth hairs fall off the caterpillars and cause an itchy rash. Some people can get breathing problems. Learn how to prevent these problems at www.maine.gov/dhhs/browntailmoth
- Rats – Check out the Rat Prevention Brochure from the Maine Board of Pesticides Control, now available on the Public Health Page of our website in several languages: www.southportland.gov/publichealth
