Con la llegada de la temporada de calor en Maine, es el momento perfecto para recordar a las comunidades que se protejan de las enfermedades transmitidas por garrapatas.
Los profesionales de la salud en Maine reportaron más de 3200 casos de enfermedad de Lyme en 2024 (datos al 10 de abril de 2025).
Adopte la prevención de garrapatas como un hábito y anime a otros a hacerlo también:
• T: Lleve y use un repelente aprobado por la EPA. Use DEET, picaridina, IR3535 (butilacetilaminopropionato de etilo) o aceite de eucalipto limón sobre la piel. Use permetrina solo en la ropa.
• I: Inspeccione su cuerpo en busca de garrapatas diariamente y después de realizar actividades al aire libre. Revise también a sus familiares y mascotas.
• C: Cúbrase la piel con camisas de manga larga y pantalones de colores claros. Meta los pantalones dentro de los calcetines.
• K: Sepa cuándo se encuentra en un hábitat de garrapatas y tome precauciones en áreas donde puedan vivir.
• S: Dúchese al llegar a casa para eliminar las garrapatas que se arrastran. Coloque la ropa en la secadora a temperatura alta durante 15 minutos antes de lavarla para matar las garrapatas en la ropa.

As the weather in Maine warms up, it is the perfect time to remind everyone to protect themselves from tickborne diseases.

Health care providers in Maine reported more than 3,200 cases of Lyme disease in 2024 (data as of April 10, 2025).

Make tick prevention a habit and encourage others to do so too:
• T: Take and use an EPA-approved repellent. Use DEET, picaridin, IR3535 (Ethyl butylacetylaminopropionate) or oil of lemon eucalyptus on skin. Use permethrin on clothing only.
• I: Inspect your whole body for ticks daily and after outdoor activities. Check family members and pets too.
• C:Cover your skin with light-colored long sleeve shirts and pants. Tuck pants into socks.
• K: Know when you are in tick habitat and take precautions in areas where ticks may live.
• S: Shower when you get home to remove crawling ticks. Put clothes in the dryer on high heat for 15 minutes before washing to kill ticks on clothes.

📢Hear from our Staff Member of the Week, Yessenia Argudo, Downeast Program Manager:

What I like the most about my role is working with people who share my passion for providing quality health care. Our patients work our fields, contribute to our economy, and provide food to our tables. I choose to work at MMHP because I have the opportunity to provide health care that our patients would not have otherwise been able to receive.

I wish more people knew how our services truly make a difference in our patients’ lives. Through our mobile clinic approach, we go to where patients live after they are done working for the day. We provide transportation that allows them to get to specialty appointments that they would not have been able to get to on their own otherwise. We speak their language to allow them to understand the care they are receiving fully and to be able to make informed medical decisions on their own. We provide them with the services and treatment to keep them healthy enough to support their families.

Thank you for your dedication to MMHP, Yessenia! 🙏
