— This year alone, Massachusetts has reported more than 1,200 cases of tick-borne illnesses - making this a noteworthy health concern across the state.

Found a tick or feeling unwell after spending time outdoors? Symptoms of tick-borne illnesses can vary, but may include fever, fatigue, headaches, muscle or joint aches, and other flu-like symptoms. Prompt evaluation is important, as early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent more serious complications.

Cape Cod Healthcare Urgent Care centers offer evaluation and testing for tick-borne illnesses, helping you get answers and treatment quickly when symptoms arise. View locations, check walk-in wait times or schedule your visit at www.capecodhealth.org/urgent-care
