Dear Neighbor, 

Earlier this week, I traveled down to Baltimore for the Council of State Governments
Eastern Regional Conference's (CSG) annual meeting. This forum is an opportunity for state level politicians to meet and discuss policy issues - over 500 government officials from over the country were in attendance. I had the honor of participating in a housing panel and also met Maryland Governor Wes Moore. 

 
Symptoms of tick-borne diseases found in Connecticut may all include a fever and general muscle aches that can occur within 35 days from the time of the bite.
 
If you get any symptoms of Lyme disease, or symptoms of other tick-borne diseases, contact your doctor right away.
