The Maine CDC says health officials are looking to gather more information

about the spread of Lyme disease in northern and western Maine. State health

authorities are asking people in northern and western Maine to send them any

ticks they find, so researchers can track the spread of the type of tick

that carries Lyme disease.

The Maine Medical Center Research Institute, working in partnership with the

Maine Center for Disease Control, says it's looking to gather more

information about the spread of the disease in Aroostook, Pascataquis,

Penobscot, Somerset, lin and Oxford counties.
