Tick Safety
Rockingham County has the highest incidence of Lyme disease in the United States. Lyme disease is carried by ticks, and they are particularly active on many conservation lands in Atkinson. Ticks have no season: they are active all year round. And unlike insect repellent, there are no 100% reliable tick repellants. Be careful when walking town lands and inspect yourself and your animals when you return from a walk. To view an excellent guide to ticks in New Hampshire, go to the "Useful Links" section of the Atkinson Conservation Commission page.
