Who We Are
It all started when…
I was bitten by a deer tick in 2002. I didn’t know what a tick even looked like or any of the health risks associated with them. I never found a bulls eye rash so, unfortunately I wasn’t properly diagnosed with Lyme Disease until 2014. By this point I was truly struggling day to day to take care of my family. I found a Lyme Literate physician after reaching out to a Lyme Disease non profit and spent several years on pretty hardcore antibiotics. Slowly I regained my strength and stamina. It was during this time that I started studying ticks. I wanted to know how I could get so sick from such a tiny insect. I quickly realized that Maine is one of the worst states in the nation for Lyme Disease infections. We also have more infected deer ticks. The more I read, the more I wanted to stop this from happening to other people. What a great way to turn a negative health situation into a positive career change. I left a journalism career of over 25 years to create Northwoods Tick Control LLC. Lets be partners in tick borne disease prevention.
