CLEVELAND, OHIO â With more people spending time outside during the pandemic, doctors say itâs important to keep an eye out for ticks â which can transmit Lyme disease.
âItâs actually good that more people are out doing things, being physically active and so forth, we just want them to be safe and want to encourage them to continue to do so,â said Alan Taege, MD, infectious disease specialist for Cleveland Clinic.
