Lincoln County Health Department Brings Awareness to Tick-borne Illnesses and Blastomycosis
Lincoln County has historically had a higher rate of tick-borne diseases and Blastomycosis (Blasto) than other areas in Wisconsin. In an effort to spread awareness, Lincoln County Health Department (LCHD) has purchased educational metal signs for Lincoln County trails. Signs have been placed on the Hiawatha Trail, New Wood Park, Underdown Recreation, Prairie Dells Scenic Area, Otter Lake Recreation, Tug Lake, Echo Lake, Crystal Lake, and the River Bend Trail. Ticks are typically most active in Wisconsin
