Tick Talk Tick Tok. Lyme Disease is the most prevalent tick-borne disease in Massachusetts and is now considered to be a public health crisis. In addition to Lyme, deer ticks can carry the pathogens which cause Babesiosis, Anaplasmosis, Relapsing Fever and Powassan virus, all of which can be very serious. Join Larry Dapsis from the Cape Cod Cooperative Extension for an educational and entertaining program that will review the basic life cycle and ecology of deer, dog and lone star ticks. A handout for parents will be provided that covers all elements of personal protection. Free but registration is required.
