Assemblyman Angelo Santabarbara will be hosting a Lyme Disease information session in partnership with Cornell University. Tick removal kits will be provided to participants who attend the event. Register for the event by visiting: nyassembly.gov/Santabarbara or call: 518-382-2941.

“Lyme disease is a bacterial infection transmitted by a tick bite that, if untreated, can affect the heart, liver or central nervous system. One of the best ways to protect yourself against tick-borne illnesses is prevention. That’s why, I am putting forth opportunities like this in our community to help raise awareness,” said Assemblyman Santabarbara.
